Veterans bring unique value to the post-service civilian workplace: a global perspective, a strong work ethic, leadership experience, the ability to work in and across teams — and unique preparation for work in supply chain and logistics, after supporting high-level military operations. But transitioning from a military career to post-service civilian employment can be a challenging and daunting experience.
Join us for an installment in our Unprecedented Opportunities series of fireside chats. We'll hear from veterans and hiring managers about how to make the military-to-civilian employment transition smooth and successful.
We'll discuss:
- Translating your skills: Servicemembers should translate their military skills and experience into language that civilian employers will understand.
- Tailoring your resume: Servicemembers should produce a civilian-friendly resume that highlights their relevant skills and experience.
- Using military resources: Take advantage of the resources available to those transitioning to civilian employment, such as tuition assistance, job search assistance, and interview coaching.
Hosted by:
- Amelia Regan, Professor & Director, Master of Supply Chain Transportation & Logistics Degree Program, University of Washington
Featuring:
- Carol Wylie (Retired Officer, U.S. Army), Director of Corporate & Foundation ESG Engagements, Vitamin Angels
- Curt Heaslet (U.S. Marine Corps), Principal Program Manager, Automation & Robotics, Amazon

The 7.8 magnitude February 6 earthquake that devastated Turkey and Syria has killed more than 50,000 people, destroyed roads, bridges, and homes; crumbled infrastructure; blocked key ports and transport routes, and displaced people — amid aftershocks and chilling winter temperatures.
We'll talk about the immense logistical challenges facing those delivering emergency humanitarian assistance: critical medical supplies, water, food, and sanitation.
We will also address both international and national opportunities for both professional and pro bono work in the field of delivering emergency aid and relief operations in times of complex crisis or natural disasters:
- forecasting and optimizing critical resources
- demand planning
- managing inventory and warehousing of supplies and materials
- the physical movement and transport of goods
- exchanging information, and
- distributing resources
