Council on Criminal Justice reposted this
It was great to meet former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. He and others from the Veteran Justice Commission were at our offices earlier this week to discuss how to provide meaningful employment opportunities to veterans and military spouses, including those who may have criminal backgrounds. Fun fact: I jokingly suggested a Lil Jon-style entrance for his DNC speech last night, which Secretary Panetta enjoyed (but sadly did not follow). 😁 #Veterans #EmploymentOpportunities
Was such an inspiring speech from Secretary Panetta last night! Equally inspiring to see the partnerships we are creating to ensure employment opportunities for ALL in the community #LinkedInVision #inittogether
Well done Blake! And you really went all out with the sport coat! A great cause and goal to have such opportunities for our nation's veterans, service personnel, and families. Let's dump that box ...
Love the DNC suggestion!
Had he taken your suggestion, that truly would have brought down the house, but great speech either way! Hope you’re doing well Blake!

2moBlake, it was an honor to have the Veterans Justice Commission, Council on Criminal Justice, meet at your wonderful headquarters in Mountain View. The Commission was extremely impressed with your team and your hospitality. We welcome and appreciate your partnership as the commission refines its work in the work force development space for justice involved veterans. We are making significant headway in our work with corporate America and your involvement will be crucial in ensuring we leave no veteran behind - in the employment sector. Thank you. Jim
