As members of a small, tight-knit community of veterans who have successfully transitioned from military service to business continuity careers, we understand the unique challenges that come with navigating this unique professional journey.
We know firsthand the immense value that programs like the DRI Foundation’s Veteran Outreach Program (VOP) have brought to our own lives. Now it’s our turn to pay it forward and help the next generation achieve similar success.
Please consider giving a donation of $20 or more today! This is more than just a call for support. It’s an opportunity to give back to the community that has given so much to us by contributing to the VOP’s continuing efforts.
A VOP Success Story
“After 20 years of service and at the rank of First Class, I was preparing to retire and had trouble translating my career experience into a specific industry.
“After many sleepless nights trying to figure out what I was going to do next, the Soldier For Life transition assistance program manager told me about the Disaster Recovery Institute International Veteran Outreach Program.
“In June 2023 I became a Certified Business Continuity Professional. The certification helped me reshape my career narrative. Without the Veterans Outreach Program’s mentorship, I would have never achieved my corporate status [with Norfolk Southern]. The program helped me find a calling and a passion.” – Daniel Lougee, CBCP, U.S. Army Veteran
