On Sunday, August 19, women veterans and military women will gather at The Wimbish House, Downtown Atlanta for the Women Veterans Interactive Atlanta Pink and White Empowerment Brunch. Linda Klein, the past president of the American Bar Association and Senior Managing Shareholder at Baker Donelson, will discuss the pro bono legal services available for veterans as well as her leadership journey. Stacey Abrams, Democratic nominee for the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, will deliver the afternoon keynote.
Women Veterans Interactive (WVI) addresses the unique, and often unrecognized, challenges facing our nation's 2.2 million women veterans as they return to civilian life. WVI has members nationwide currently providing outreach and support services to thousands of women veterans. Through the three pillars of transition, empowerment, and diversity, WVI delivers tailored programming, training, and resources to women veterans at all stages in their military transition. WVI focuses on meeting women veterans at their point of need while breaking down barriers. Its mission is to "Meet women veterans through Advocacy, Empowerment, Interaction, Outreach, and Unification."
