Veterans Leadership Forum

We're working on another great forum for this year. To stay up to date, please subscribe to our newsletter!

Liberty, Honor, Sacrifice

Our veterans know these elements of defending liberty, honoring our constitution, and sacrificing their time to defend our freedoms. Their service is a treasure to us.

At this new forum, you will see how CEOs and other leaders put their military training to good use and have become leaders in their field. You’ll also hear about the importance of hiring veterans and the talent they bring to the table.

Your donations support much-needed funding for our programs and event services. Your dollars help us create our Honor Our Heroes Grand Marshal Competition, where we recognize seven veterans from World War II to the present day. They also help us pay it forward for our High School Essay Winners, who get their essays printed in the parade program, ride in the parade, and share funding for them and their classrooms.


Honoring America’s Veteran’s mission is to support our nation’s military veterans by hosting recognition events that build a spirit of camaraderie in their local communities.  HAV is the presenting sponsor of the annual HAV Phoenix Veterans Day Parade.
