WHY THIS MATTERS
The military-to-civilian transition is one of the most critical points in a Veteran’s journey. Too often, it’s marked by isolation, uncertainty, and missed opportunities. Events like the MIC Early Arrival Social directly close that gap by:
-
Building meaningful relationships that support Veterans beyond service.
-
Connecting Veterans with civilian leaders who understand their value.
-
Opening doors to new career, education, and partnership opportunities.
This event isn’t just a mixer—it’s the foundation for stronger transitions and lasting impact.
SAVI understands that transition isn’t just about resources—it’s about relationships. Our welcome mixer creates the perfect environment for:
Early Birds – Get face time with key influencers before their schedules fill
First-Time Attendees – Navigate MIC with confidence after connecting with experienced participants
Opportunity Seekers – Position yourself for the right conversations throughout the conference
Community Builders – Strengthen the military-connected ecosystem through meaningful support
