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
September 23rd, Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services formalized a strategic partnership with Black Veterans for Social Justice (BVSJ)—a pivotal step in advancing our shared mission to ensure veterans and their families thrive where they live.
This new collaboration brought together leaders from both organizations in Brooklyn, New York, to outline a joint framework that strengthens the capacity of BVSJ and its partners to deliver comprehensive, coordinated services across the city.
Dixon Center is aligning some resources and projects around BVSJ’s services in New York City’s underserved communities. We are also sharing innovative solutions garnered from our national network. As a result together we are creating a model for scalable, sustainable collaboration that strengthens the broader ecosystem of local veteran-serving organizations.
