Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for MVSHRM’s June Mingle! We enjoyed a fantastic evening of networking, great conversations, food, and fun at the 1888 Biergarten.

Memorial Day is a time to honor those who gave everything in service to others.

But remembrance is more than reflection. It’s also about how we continue to support military-connected workers, including veterans and their families in the workplace every day.

For many, the impact of service lasts a lifetime. Organizations have the opportunity to create environments rooted in understanding, opportunity, and meaningful support that extends far beyond a single moment of recognition.

By supporting those who carry the legacy of service, we honor those we’ve lost.
