Thank You for an Incredible Joining Forces Conference

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to speak at the Joining Forces Conference. It was an honor to stand among so many dedicated professionals, advocates, and change-makers who are committed to empowering our military-connected communities.

As the Founding Executive Director of the Veteran Entrepreneur Alliance, I’m constantly reminded of the resilience, creativity, and grit that our veterans and military spouses bring to the table—especially when stepping into the world of entrepreneurship. Being able to share our mission and the incredible stories of the VEA network at such a respected event was not only humbling, but deeply energizing.

This conference reaffirmed that we're not alone in this fight to create opportunity, access, and lasting impact. It’s clear that when we work together—nonprofits, government agencies, businesses, and individuals—we can build something truly powerful for those who served and continue to serve in different capacities.

To everyone who attended the session, asked thoughtful questions, and connected afterward—thank you. Your support is what keeps this mission alive.

Let’s keep the momentum going.

With gratitude,

Isaac Belden

Founding Executive Director
