Encore Episode: Serving Vulnerable Veterans & Active Service Members
Happy Veterans Day! Every year, here in the United States, we observe November 11th as a federal holiday to honor our military veterans—persons who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
“It [Veterans Day] coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Day).
In this episode, you’ll meet a remarkable woman who is not only the daughter of a veteran but the Deputy Director of a nonprofit organization that serves some of the most vulnerable veterans and service members in the country.
KellyAnn Romanych is the Deputy Executive Director of Veterans Legal Institute. VLI provides pro bono legal assistance to homeless, at risk, disabled and low income current and former service members to eradicate barriers to housing, healthcare, education, and employment and foster self-sufficiency.
Her journey to VLI might surprise you—especially when you hear what her college major was! For KellyAnn, though, every move was made conscientiously as she followed her inner compass which continually directed her on a career path of serving the servers.
KellyAnn is a lover of nature, a gifted writer, and one of the kindest women I know. I can’t wait for you to get to know her better as she shares her story and what it’s like to lead this growing nonprofit in Southern California.
