Over 200,000 military members transition from the service each year. They are experienced leaders, skilled co-workers, adept business owners, and supportive neighbours.

THIS YEAR ALONE, WE WILL WELCOME 18,000 MORE VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO OUR HAMPTON ROADS REGION.

We recognize the impact of these new arrivals: our 757 businesses and neighborhoods will grow, leaders will emerge, and economies will continue to thrive. Our Center for Military and Family Advancement is on a mission to welcome home even more Military Spouses, graduating GI Bill Student Veterans, and professionals who have served, connecting them to our networks and opportunities, and setting them up to have a positive impact on the communities they return to.
