Business Leaders in Action Results for America, Leadership Report for 2010

Abstract

MAJOR INITIATIVES AND IMPACT: Helping America's Heroes -- from finding a job and paying the bills to coping with life-changing injuries, new challenges confront those who have served our country in uniform when they return home. Some struggle to find work; others end up homeless. Their families often rely on welfare. The wounded have unique, lifelong needs. Over the past decade, thousands of private and non-profit organizations have stepped forward to help veterans meet these challenges. While well-intentioned, most of these groups are disconnected and not independently evaluated. Many veterans either can't find the services they need or are overwhelmed by the number of options. To bring an innovative solution to this problem, a BENS-led coalition of companies and organizations is creating an online tool to help veterans navigate the maze of public and private-sector organizations serving veterans and to successfully reenter civilian life: Warrior Gateway. The Warrior Gateway website was publicly unveiled in four states in March 2010, and will expand to all 50 states throughout the year.
