Anisa Palmer is an amazing woman.
She was recently accepted to the University of Central Florida and begins
classes in September 2014 in a duel major. In addition, she is the founder and
executive director of “I will survive, Inc.” for Breast Cancer Awareness. Anisa
is a mentor for young high school students through the Safe America Foundation
and an Army veteran.
In my file cabinet I found a
certificate from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserves (ESGR). Several
years ago when we lived in West Virginia, Tim and I both were asked to be Ombudsman
for ESGR to work with employers and service
members to prevent, reduce or resolve misunderstandings regarding employment
rights and responsibilities. We are no longer involved in that program, but I saw an advertisement for
American Corporate Partners (ACP), a similar program, in Fortune Magazine. Veterans
post questions on the website as they transition from the military to the
business community. It is a way to help over 1 million Veterans who are coming
home like Anisa. She credits ACP with her success.
Today’s gift was to sign up to be a
mentor on the ACP website by offering my expertise to veterans. I would like to
support our troops to show that I appreciate the sacrifices that they have
made.
In Giving,
Robin
