We are also super grateful to HoH for the years of partnership in bringing top quality veteran and military spouse talent to the private sector. We look forward to celebrating on November 15th with the outstanding community HoH has built to support veterans and their families."

SteerBridge's commitment to supporting veterans and military spouses will be highlighted at the 13th Annual Lee Anderson Hiring Our Heroes Awards Gala presented by Booz Allen Hamilton in Washington D.C. The event brings together a diverse array of companies and individuals who have gone above and beyond to help America's heroes transition into meaningful careers.

Each year, Hiring Our Heroes recognizes the tremendous contributions of those who have developed and applied best practices for addressing the employment challenges faced by veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses.

"The Lee Anderson Veteran and Military Spouse Employment Award is presented to a company or organization for overall excellence in hiring, training, and retaining veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses," said Hiring Our Heroes. "Whether through its own work or philanthropic efforts, a successful nominee takes a comprehensive approach to creating economic opportunities for veterans and military spouses and works to close the civilian-military divide. Efforts may include up-skilling/re-skilling opportunities, apprenticeship programs, employee resource groups, HR training efforts, volunteer opportunities for veterans in local communities, and other efforts to empower veterans and military spouses as they search for meaningful careers."
