The virtual format provides participants the opportunity to hear from a wide variety of leaders on a variety of topics designed to strengthen the way participants collectively care for, serve, support, employ, educate and assist the 500,000+ service members, veterans and families that call Arizona home.

Date: April 20 & 21, 2022
Time: Programming from 8 a.m. to noon; Virtual networking from 12:00 – 12:30

For both days of the event, there will be an opening and closing general session featuring remarks from key members of the Arizona Coalition for Military Families leadership team. Across the two half-days of programming, there will be 24 breakout sessions offered across six learning tracks. Each learning track features presentations from featured guest speakers who are experts in providing care, support and advocacy for service members and veterans.

New this year, the Symposium will feature facilitated solution sessions where discussion is focused on action items that help unite stakeholders behind innovative approaches that help address the unique needs of our state’s service member and veteran populations.
