General David Petraeus Calls Attendees to Support Veterans
IIUSA kicked off this year’s EB-5 Advocacy Conference with a fireside chat with General David Petraeus. During the chat, he discussed the importance of continued workforce development for veterans. In addition, he also addressed the role that the EB-5 Program can play in hiring those who served our nation. The General’s former colleague, Ramin Asgard, (now of Mona Shah & Associates Global) also joined him for the discussion.
General Petraeus also called on attendees to help ensure
that all those who served in uniform have opportunities for employment when they leave the service.
Moreover, it honored the IIUSA Board of Directors to answer the General’s call. After that, the board did so by officially voting to establish an ad hoc IIUSA Committee for Veterans Affairs. In addition, the committee held its first meeting during the conference.
Finally, the IIUSA and the newly established Veterans Committee will work to promote workforce development for our veterans.
