"I'm honored to spend time with the heroic men and women of our Armed Forces, and I am excited to support a cause that provides opportunity to those who deserve it most. Not only is hiring our veterans the right thing to do, but organizations who do hire them realize the incredible potential that these servant-minded, disciplined and thoughtful individuals possess," says Fiorina
After the presentations, there will be opportunities to ask questions and network with the event partners.
The three-day engagement will then return to Phoenix from November 13 through November 16 to empower veterans through entrepreneurship, education, and careers while celebrating the 100th anniversary of Veterans Day. It is spearheaded by HeroZona Foundation and Arizona Department of Veterans' Services, in conjunction with the State of Arizona, City of Phoenix and Arizona Corporate Counsel. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will also be at HeroPreneur hosting workshops for large companies, small veteran owned businesses and veterans interested in contracting government and earning certification.
