This weekend, the Women Veterans Interactive Foundation (WVIF) will host its inaugural National Women Veterans Pink and White Empowerment Summit, in partnership with Fiserv.
Designed to connect, engage, and empower women veterans in communities where they live, the event will focus on mind, body, wellness, and entrepreneurship for women veterans.
“For women veterans, health and wellness are directly tied to their experience in and transition from active duty,” said Ginger Miller, Navy veteran and WVIF president and CEO. “We need to serve them, with efforts that support mental, physical and professional wellness, along with entrepreneurship opportunities.”
More than 225 women veterans and active-duty servicewomen are expected to gather from across the country for the Summit, which will provide panel discussions, interactive workshops and keynote addresses. Featured topics will shine a light on the importance of self-care, healthcare access, VA benefits, and empowerment in entrepreneurship.
“WVIF has a strong focus on women veterans’ outreach and engagement,” said Miller. “Within days of opening registration, the Summit reached max capacity, and we now have a waitlist of more than 150 women. This incredible enthusiasm speaks to the desire and urgent need of an event such as this. I am grateful to have the support of Fiserv for an event that is vital to the women veterans’ community.”
Dr. Vivian Greentree, Ph.D, Navy veteran and Senior Vice President, Head of Global Corporate Citizenship at Fiserv, will serve as the opening keynote speaker at the Summit. Meg Hendricks, Army veteran and Vice President, Head of Military and Veteran Affairs, Fiserv, will lead the Summit’s entrepreneurship panel.
