The Military Friendly® Veteran of the Year (VOY) Program honors exceptional individuals who exemplify the values of service, leadership, and community impact beyond their time in uniform. Each year, this recognition spotlights veterans who have transitioned into civilian life with purpose, driving positive change in their workplaces, industries, and communities.
VOY awardees are selected for their commitment to:
• Championing veteran hiring, retention, and advancement
• Leading with integrity and purpose in their civilian careers
• Uplifting fellow veterans through mentorship, advocacy, or innovation
