Friday, 19 December at the Museum of Aviation’s Century of Flight, over 100 women veterans gathered for a conference hosted by the Georgia Department of Veteran Services.  Presentations included resiliency and how life in the military, especially in a deployed environment, may affect women differently.  The sensitive area of sexual trauma and the resources available was featured, as well as resume and interviewing tips.  Vendors supporting veterans around the state were set up in the back of the hangar.  In case you weren’t aware, Georgia ranks 5th in the nation with the number of women vets, just over 108,000.  As a female vet, it is good to see Georgia supporting this unique population in their 2nd annual conference.  I look forward to next year and hope to pack the Museum of Aviation!
