The Emerald Coast brought our Fellows together for another successful workshop, this time, in Destin!

Our Fellows came together for a day of candid conversations, practical guidance, and direct access to business leaders who shared their experience and perspective as our Operators prepare for life beyond military service. A special thank you to our hosts at the @doolittle_institute for opening their doors and providing a space where our Fellows and panelists could gather, learn, ask questions, and build meaningful connections. These in-person opportunities are an important part of helping our Fellows better understand the civilian landscape and prepare for what comes next. We are also incredibly grateful to NGS for supporting the workshop and Fueling our Fellows by providing breakfast and lunch for our Fellows, staff, and panelists. Their generosity helps offset the costs of bringing these workshops to our community and allows us to focus our resources where they matter most: supporting our transitioning Special Operators. And a special thank you to SOTF alumnus Torrey Peterson for representing NGS and continuing to give back to the community that supported his own transition. Seeing our alumni return to invest their time, experience, and relationships in the Fellows coming behind them is what makes the SOTF network so special. Thank you to everyone who helped make Destin another meaningful day for our Fellows. 🇺🇸 Black Powder Search @businesssergeant @topflitehomeloans @apexservicespartners F3EA, Inc. @andurilindustries Northern Gulf Services Shark Team @plannedsystems Awayday Vacation Rentals @mtsiofficial @ge_aerospace
