Recognition, Impact Award, and a Mission Worth Supporting

Last month, our Founder and President, Deb Kloeppel, was honored with the 2026 Bonnie Amos Impact Award for Lifetime Achievement at the Hiring Our Heroes Military Spouse Employment Summit — one of the highest recognitions in the military spouse employment space. We are proud, and we are energized.

But this award means little without action behind it. Military spouses still face one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, and the need for career support, job placement, and long-term opportunity has never been greater. If you've considered giving, now is a powerful time to make your contribution count.

July is full of ways to get involved — read on to see what's happening this month and how you can be part of the momentum.
