From identifying the issues facing the veterans workforce to business development for a cause, the next Georgia Tech Savannah Professional Education’s “Leaders and Learners” Breakfast Series will focus on the “Passion to Serve”. On Thursday, November 8, 2018, Savannah business leaders who work with military personnel are gathering to discuss how the military community gives back through profit and passion.

Panelists will include Tyler Merritt, co-owner of Nine Line Apparel; Kevin Ryan, CEO of Service Brewing; and Cindy Kelley, executive director of Chatham Savannah Homeless Authority. The session will be moderated by Kenya Harrison, academic program manager at Georgia Tech-Savannah.  

The discussion will address concerns of the veteran workforce, the military talent pool, branding for the military community and options for local businesses to help the cause.
 
The panel discussion, which will include remarks followed by an interactive discussion, will take place on the Georgia Tech-Savannah campus at 210 Technology Circle. Breakfast and networking will begin at 7:30 a.m.; the program will run 8-9:30 a.m. Cost, including breakfast, is $15.
