As we near Veterans Day on Nov. 11, WashingtonExec is interviewing GovCon leaders to discuss how their companies support and recognize veterans during this time of year and year-round. 

In this segment, WashingtonExec’s Rachel Kirkland sits down with Karen Goodson, vice president of the Army market at LMI and a former Army ordnance officer, as she shares her lifelong connection to the military community and how it continues to shape her work at LMI, where 30% of employees are veterans. She discusses LMI’s ongoing commitment to supporting veterans through initiatives like the Veterans Crisis Line, mentorship programs, SkillBridge partnerships, and events such as the Army Ten-Miler and Wreaths Across America. Goodson also highlights how veterans’ skills and perspectives fuel innovation in LMI’s mission to serve the Army and federal government.
