The RAND Epstein Family Veterans Policy Research Institute - The Role of Veteran-Serving Nonprofits: Then, Now, and into the Future Webinar

Join the RAND Epstein Family Veterans Policy Research Institute and Georgetown University Medical Center’s Joel Kupersmith for a discussion about the future of veteran-serving non-profits.

Featuring representatives from long-established institutions and relative newcomers to the community of veteran-serving organizations, as well as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the draft and the beginning of the all-volunteer force era. Since 1973, the United States military and its veterans have become more diverse. At the same time, there have been dramatic changes in how Americans communicate and connect with one another. With today’s smaller military, the U.S. veteran population is also shrinking, prompting concerns about how the organizations that support them will maintain both their funding and their relevance. The featured panellists will discuss how veteran-serving non-profits are adapting to changes in the populations they serve and the political and social climate in which they operate.

Featured Speakers include-

• Joel Kupersmith - Cardiologist and Professor of medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center.
• Jeremy Butler - CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA).
• Lindsay Church - Executive Director and co-founder of Minority Veterans of America.
• Jennifer Hunt - Veteran Service organisations liaison in the Veterans Health Administration.
• Chanin Nuntavong - Executive Director of government affairs at The American Legion’s national headquarters.
• Moderated by Kayla M. Williams, a senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation.
