ABOUT THE NEXT MISSION SERIES
You spent years serving. The question after service isn’t whether you still want to contribute — it’s how.
Next Mission is a quarterly series built around that question. Each event brings together a guest speaker — a veteran or veteran-led organization that has found a powerful way to serve in civilian life — to share their story, their path, and what they’ve learned. Then we open the floor: network with fellow veterans, ask the questions you’re actually wondering, and explore the opportunities in front of you.
Whether you’re freshly transitioned or years out and looking for more, this series is your room. Come ready to listen, connect, and maybe find your next mission.
What the Event Is About
This evening features a roundtable discussion with 6 veteran founders and CEOs spanning industries including trades, finance, technology, and consumer products. Speakers will share insights on starting and growing a business, offering practical guidance for veterans exploring business ownership.
Additionally, we'll have Megan Tamez from the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) to share more about their Veteran Entrepreneur Program (VEP), which supports veterans, military families, and survivors through every stage of launching and running a business.
