TESTIMONIALS

One of the best ways to leave the military is to transition to an industry that is accomplishing some of the same goals. The energy industry can help protect our national security in more ways than one, and the Veterans Advanced Energy Summit is an avenue to bring those two worlds together.”

- Brad Purtell, U.S. Navy Veteran

After leaving the Marine Corps, I wanted to go into energy but had never interacted with the private sector before. The Veterans Advanced Energy Summit connected me to a host of established veterans-turned-energy professionals who volunteered to help with my resume, talk about their own career paths, and connect me to others in the field. I couldn't recommend the summit more"

- Jon Gillis, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran

As a veteran, I was very impressed with the summit preparation, the speakers, and the content. I would say that any energy professional, prior military or not, interested in the subject matter would have been just as impressed.”

- Sean Whiting, U.S. Air Force Veteran
