We’re thrilled to announce that Ballard Eagleson VFW Post 3063 has officially kicked off a transformative collaboration with an exceptional team of six veterans from the UW Foster School of Business MBA Consulting Project!
This spring quarter, these talented MBA candidates will be working closely with our Post leadership to develop actionable recommendations for improving member engagement and cultivating future leaders within our organization. Their military background combined with new business expertise creates a uniquely qualified team to address the challenges facing veteran service organizations today.
The challenges we face aren’t unique: membership activation and leadership development are critical issues for VSOs, fraternal organizations, religious institutions, and community groups nationwide. We believe the insights from this project will create ripple effects for our fellow VSOs.
We’re especially grateful to partner with fellow veterans who understand our mission on a personal level. Their dedication, energy, and expertise were immediately apparent during our kickoff meeting yesterday, and we look forward to building a sustainable relationship with both the team members and the broader UW Foster Veterans Association.
Stay tuned for updates as this impactful collaboration progresses. We’re committed to sharing the lessons learned to benefit the wider veteran and community organization ecosystem.
