Military Employment Collaborative Series

The Military Employment Collaborative Series is a speaking series in collaboration with Goldwater Institute to get awareness out about the opportunities we can do to improve employment to our veterans and their spouses.

The series kicked off April 24, 2019 with:

Military Spouses Unemployment: The Never-Ending Recession.
A conversation with Hiring Our Heroes – Eric Eversole, President

Special Guests included:

  • Governor Doug Ducey, Arizona
  • U.S. Senator Martha McSally, Arizona
  • U.S. Senator Dan Crenshaw, Texas
Military Employment Collaborative Series: Military Spouse Unemployment

Our country has undertaken significant efforts to empower veterans as they search for meaningful careers. That work has fueled unprecedented opportunities for transitioning service members, driving veteran unemployment to a record low of 2.7% in February 2019.

That success, however, has not generated financial stability for military families. Why?

Military spouses—often called the backbone of our military—have been left on the economic sidelines forcing families to live on a single income. Frequent moves, deployments, and remote duty locations have made it difficult for most military spouses to maintain and advance a career.

Hiring Our Heroes and HeroZona Foundation are working to remove barriers and  empower military spouses as they look for careers in Arizona.

Our Mission

The mission of HeroZona Foundation is to create and empower Heroes in our communities.
