Speaking
Can she talk without a wine glass in one hand? Yes, yes she can!
After taking her career in an entirely different direction when she retired from the Air Force after 25 years of service in 2009, her unusual post-retirement career path has been an intriguing topic at various veteran-focused events. One of her favorites was the Federally Employed Women (FEW) Rocky Mountain Regional Training Program in 2017 and again in 2024.
Additionally, she served as a Woman to Woman mentor, as well as a panel member during BBB’s Small Business Week’s Veteran Panel and a Military and Veterans Employment Expo at a local community college.
Val was a seminar presenter at the annual SWE conferences in Portland, Oregon and Rochester, New York, and has presented numerous online webinars for worldwide audiences.
