As I was planning Silhouettes for VETS, I underwent over 300 hours of research in order to understand the need for the services offered by my company. Along the way I have talked with and met others who have the same passion for helping our Veterans as I do.
So, I would like to take a few lines of this blog to recognize those who have supported me through this process:
Colonel David Sutherland – The Dixon Center
Lt Cmdr Kimberly Mitchell – The Dixon Center
Linda Broughton and Lisa Anderson – The Salvation Army – Haven
Maurice Wilson, MCPO USN (Ret) – NVTSI
Joseph Chicas, Veterans Affairs Coordinator, Office of Mayor Eric Garcetti
Amy Levin, MSW Ph.D, Department Chair/Professor, Department of Social Work, CSUN
Mark Stevens, Ph.D, Director and Psychologist, University Counseling Services, CSUN
All the folks at EDD
Kelly Logan, Veterans Advocate
Captain Olivia Chavez ABCO Technologies
And dozens of other Veteran Services Advocates and Organizations with whom I have consulted
Thank you all for your support – we are all making a difference by working with our Veterans
