Join the Elizabeth Dole Foundation and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on October 29th at 11:00 a.m. ET for our 6th Annual National Virtual Convening—free and open to all—featuring interactive sessions with renowned experts, landmark announcements from the Foundation and our partners, and more. 

Presented by Philips, the convening has become the nation’s premiere event on veteran caregiving. National leaders, subject matter experts, caregivers, advocates, and practitioners come together around the latest developments and innovation in the caregiver space.

This year, the convening will include remarks by Senator Elizabeth Dole and The Honorable VA Secretary Denis McDonough as we highlight the advancements made in changing the military caregiver experience in America and project how our community will continue to support our hidden heroes well into the future. 

Details on our program can be found here. 

As a special feature for our caregiver participants, this year will feature the first-ever Careers for Caregivers Job Fair, presented by Booz Allen Hamilton! Join us virtually as Fortune 500 companies recruit caregivers and veterans for opportunities across the nation AND opportunities based in the comfort of your own home.

The National Virtual Convening is also made possible thanks to the generous support of Wounded Warrior Project®.

This event is part of a month of events hosted by the Elizabeth Dole Foundation that will virtually bring together military caregivers, and local, state, and federal leaders from across the country. Other events include the 4th Annual Heroes and History Makers, featuring actor and Hidden Heroes Campaign Chair Tom Hanks; TODAY Co-Host and Hidden Heroes Ambassador Savannah Guthrie; actor, humanitarian, and founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation Gary Sinise; Country Music Icon Lee Greenwood; a special performance by Lady A; and more, on October 28 at 8pm ET.
