Operation Veteran Empowerment Update
“Real progress happens when organizations listen, innovate, and act together.” – Colonel (Ret.) Sam Whitehurst, Vice President, Programs & Services Recently, Dixon Center for Military
During an innovation workshop, this week, at The Fedcap Group, in New York City, Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services spent time determining how we can reimagine veteran and military family financial wellness.
Working and collaborating with THRUUE, AlphaROC, and the Coordinated Assistance Network (CAN), we focused on the pain points of financial wellness and how we can best leverage artificial intelligence, networks and educational programs.
We will use the data and information, systems, and partners discovered to maximize capacity building, crisis intervention and long-term services to address veteran satisfaction with their current and future financial situations.
We will publish our findings and proposed plan in the next few months. Stay tuned.
