In honor of Veterans Day this month, MOAA was privileged to have our CEO and President Lt. Gen. Brian T. Kelly, USAF (Ret) participate in a panel at McKinsey & Company's Washington D.C. office. The focus, purposely tied to the upcoming Veterans Day holiday, was on service and ongoing support for veterans, highlighting our collective mission to support those who serve and have served. Kelly shared insights into how MOAA and the upcoming TotalForce+ Conference are advancing solutions to address the unique needs of the military and veteran community.   We’re especially grateful to our friends at McKinsey for hosting this meaningful discussion and for their ongoing commitment to our community. Their team has been instrumental in our planning efforts for TotalForce+, providing strategic support and expertise that ensures this event will be a powerful platform for advancing solutions across the military ecosystem.   To all who serve and support our military and veteran community — thank you for making a difference every day.
