Military life is tough, difficult, and dangerous. But the transition from active duty to civilian life also brings forth challenges on the majority of veterans in dealing with benefits, retirement path, and setting up a new career.
In today’s episode of the Knucklehead Podcast, Stephen shares another inspiring conversation with our guest, Adrianne Phillips. They talk about how Adrienne came up with the creation of a nonprofit organization, how it works, and eventually into the foundation of SAVI.
Adrianne Phillips is a service-disabled veteran, who founded Strategic Alliance for Veteran Integration (SAVI) as a reaction to the immense need for support of veterans transitioning to civilian life. After serving in the U.S. Air Force as a combat service-member and Security Forces, Adrianne transitioned out of the military and into civilian life. In 2017, she harnessed her experience as a veteran, benefits manager, and entrepreneur to found the Strategic Alliance for Veteran Integration with the goal of supporting every service-member’s transition.
The Strategic Alliance for Veteran Integration (SAVI) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Veterans thrive post-separation. They help transitioning service-members navigate their VA benefits entitlement and post-transition goals by providing customized support, services, and proprietary programs.
Enjoy!
