AFCEA North Carolina, the North Carolina Military Business Center and SAS are honored to cohost a discussion about the fight against veteran and military suicide with leaders from the US Department of Veterans Affairs and North Carolina community members, including a keynote from the Executive Director of the VA’s Veterans Crisis Line.
Suicide is a national public health issue, and the VA is collaborating with partners and communities nationwide to use the best available information and practices to support veterans.
Discussions will include a conversation with the VA’s Deputy Chief Technology Officer on how the VA is embracing the latest technologies and innovations to help veterans and the military community in North Carolina.
This event will provide a chance to engage with the VA and North Carolina communities as well as industry and military stakeholders.
We look forward to your participation and engagement to see the work the VA and the Department of Defense are doing to serve veterans and the military community.
