Honoring Women Veterans Conference at UE this Saturday, June 6 from 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. in Eykamp Hall in UE’s Ridgway University Center (building marked #27 on our campus map).
Many women veterans will be available for interview, as well as the keynote speaker, Betty Moseley Brown. When you arrive, please ask for or call Cherie Leonhardt, UE coordinator of veteran affairs, at 812-459-1128 and she will connect you for interviews.
The conference is a day of education, fun and camaraderie for women who have served and currently serve in the United States military.
This is the sixth year for the conference that has in the past drawn participants who ranged in age from 18 to 103 years old. Some have traveled from as far away as Oklahoma and Washington, D.C. to attend.
The day’s activities include informative sessions on military benefits, networking and career information, and an afternoon of facials, manicures, massages and more.
The day’s guest speaker will be Betty Moseley Brown, associate director for the Center for Women Veterans at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Brown is a dynamic speaker who has been instrumental in promoting awareness of the contributions made by women who served in the military through multiple department-wide efforts, such as VA’s Her Story campaign and the Face Behind the File: Women at War DVD.
