You've got New Year's Resolutions--and NYC Veterans Alliance wants you to meet the people who can help you achieve your goals for 2019 at free and discounted rates for veterans, military members, spouses, and family members!

This will be an energetic, fun, and interactive event structured like "speed networking"--where participants spend approximately five minutes talking with representatives of organizations about the direct support they can offer you in achieving goals like:

Get Physically Fit

Get Financially Fit

Get a Better Job

Feel Better About My Future

Maximize My VA Benefits

Reduce or Quit Smoking

Help My Community

Start a Business

Buy a Home

And many more! Each time the five-minute timer goes off, you'll get to talk with someone else about how you'll achieve your next goal for 2019! Plus we'll have time for you to mix and mingle and enjoy light fare and beverages from Backward Flag Brewing Co. Participants will also have the opportunity, if desired, to enroll in VetConnectNYC, the city's network of multi-dimensional services for the veterans community.

Please RSVP HERE to ensure we have the right resources for you! This event is open to military servicemembers of any component, veterans of any service era or discharge status, their spouses & partners, and immediate family members.
