You’re Invited to Congressman Glenn Nye’s
First Annual Hampton Roads Veterans Job Fair

On Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 Congressman Glenn Nye will host his first annual Hampton Roads Veterans’ Job Fair at VFW Post 4809 in Norfolk.

The fair is intended to bring together employers in Hampton Roads with local veterans who have valuable skills and training from their military service.

There is no cost to participate – and all veterans from across the area are invited.

The fair will feature:

  • Twenty local employers, including the public and private sector, as well as staffing firms.
  • Résumé counseling and interview training sessions
  • Up to several hundred local veterans with valuable skills and training from their service in the military, and
  • The world premiere screening of a new episode from the In Their Boots documentary series. The episode “Vets for Hire,” focuses on the stories of three veterans battling to find work after returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan. Congressman Nye was interviewed for the program, discussing his Veterans Business Center legislation, which recently passed the House of Representatives.
  • A panel discussion of veterans employment issues with the producers of In Their Boots, representatives of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Congressman Glenn Nye.

The fair will take place on Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 from 12:00 noon until 5:00 PM at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4809 at 5728 Bartee Street, Norfolk, VA 23502.
