According to the U.S. Census, there were 16.2 million military veterans in the U.S. in 2022, representing 6.2% of the total civilian population aged 18 and over. This Veterans Day, WashingtonExec is highlighting the ways in which the GovCon industry is recognizing and supporting the veteran community, around the holiday and year-round.
In this episode, WashingtonExec’s Amanda Ziadeh sits down with Kerry Favero-Rivera, director of organizational strategy for Koniag Government Services, who grew up in the veteran community and spent 27 years in the U.S. Navy. She shares how Koniag Government Services is recognizing and supporting veterans, her involvement in the Military Employee Resource Group, the importance of helping veterans transition to civilian life, and why it’s important for GovCon to support veterans and their families year-round.
