ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS’ SERVICES CO-HOSTS STATE’S FIRST MILITARY WOMEN’S CONFERENCE
(PHOENIX) – Today, nearly 14-percent of America’s servicemembers are women yet services for women veterans are not sufficient to stem a rising number of homeless women veterans on our cities streets.
That will be among the many issues taken up by the first Arizona Military Women’s Conference being held Friday, June 26th to Saturday, June 27th at the Radisson Phoenix City Center Hotel in downtown Phoenix.
This first-of-its-kind event is being co-hosted by the Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services and the Office of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and is being supported by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and numerous Arizona veterans’ organizations.
The conference is designed to informing women servicemembers and veterans of the programs and services available to them and to help create a support system designed for the special needs of female veterans. Several hundred women veterans from around the state are expected to attend.
On Saturday evening, at 7 p.m., June 27th, there will be a special tribute to the women who have fallen in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
