The SHRM Foundation is grateful for the generous support and visionary partnership of USAA Foundation in transforming the HR profession’s approach to attracting, hiring and retaining veteran employees. USAA/SHRM Foundation Ambassadors are critical elements of program success, as they are the conduits for transforming HR communities across the nation. The success of the program is dependent on veteran champions who can access and train HR professionals, people managers, and business leaders through innovative methodologies and gain a commitment from 250 of those HR professionals, people managers, and business leaders to hire one veteran or military community member by the end of 2022
