Having a Veteran Employee Resource Group (ERG) is vital for many organizations who hire and currently have Veterans employed. Is your company looking to establish a Veterans ERG or looking to do more with your existing Veterans ERG?

Join Greater Philadelphia Veterans Network's upcoming, Third Annual Veteran Employee Resource Group Summit to learn best practices for growing, maintaining, or just starting a Veterans ERG. Learn, solve, and collaborate with other local organizations. We will have networking opportunities before and after as well.

We anticipate having representation from over 20 companies from the Greater Philadelphia region. Many of whom are already involved with GPVN.
