One thing I would like to accomplish as the MSOY of 2018 is to make our Spouses Club, FRG, and Ombudsman groups more active in every base, every branch, no matter their size. Transitioning is a big issue for our military spouses and families when it’s time to PCS. I believe that the groups mentioned above can provide all active duty families with a safety net. It gives them a sense of stability and provides information about local resources, and a variety of programs and opportunities that are fitting for each family.

I would like to use this accomplishment to bring attention to charities that are near and dear to my heart, as well as to help shine a light on how civilian communities are enriched by the military men and women who share that community.

This past year I had the wonderful opportunity to be on the board for the Joint Spouses’ Conference. Which is a yearly non-profit conference that gathers over 500 active duty, reserve, retired and Gold Star Spouses from all Military branches for a day long conference on Oahu; filled with workshops, speakers, meals, music, entertainment, a retail and a information Marketplace. It’s a full day of just fun for Military Spouses, selecting form a verity of workshops such as paddle board, historical tours, self-defense/workout classes to presenters such as Space A travel, money saving tips, empowering yourself and career. With the Military Spouse of the Year title I would like to partner up with Military Spouse Magazine and bring this conference to the mainland, doing one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast. Seeing the joy of over 500 Military Spouses come together, connect, have fun, gain Military Lifestyle Knowledge, meet new people and take a day for themselves was something I wish all Military Spouses across the United States could and should experience. Even though our Service Members are in different military branches, we all have one thing in common, being a Military Spouse. And that is a special bond that should be shared and celebrated.
