National Files Official Paperwork for 501c19 recognition
Join the Movement – Your Leadership Matters!
My Fellow Veterans and supporters of Commanders Coalition,
Commanders Coalition is officially on the path to legal recognition as a 501(c)(19) nonprofit organization – a major milestone that will empower us to better serve veterans across Florida’s Big Bend region and beyond. This progress is thanks to your generous donations and the unwavering support of our incredible network of Community Partners who share our mission.
We’re wrapping up end-of-year reports and putting the final touches on our membership website to keep Veteran leaders connected and informed.
Now is the time to step up and join us!
If you are an honorably discharged Veteran with experience leading or serving in a Veteran Service Organization (VSO), we want YOU in the Commanders Coalition.
Imagine the power of combining over 725 years of collective leadership experience in one room:
- Everyone learns
- Everyone grows
- Everyone becomes a stronger, more effective Veteran leader
Your organization trusted you to lead them. Now, Commanders Coalition will surround you with fellow commanders and leaders just like you – creating a network that sharpens skills, shares best practices, and amplifies our impact for all veterans.
🇺🇸Take action today!🇺🇸
Reply to this email (or email hq at commanderscoalition.org) with “I want to join”. We’ll send you an official invitation to become a member.
The board decided to waive ALL DUES for the 1st year to show our value to the Veteran community. Donations will still be accepted and we have something special planned for the first 250 members that sign up in honor of America’s 250th birthday.
Don’t wait – together, we’re building something powerful for ALL veteran service organizations. Your voice and experience are needed now more than ever.
In Your Service,
Edward W. Hood
National Commander
Proudly supporting Veterans in Florida’s Big Bend and across the country
