Congresswoman Renee Ellmers: Veterans` Employment Fair on Thursday


Representing a district that is home to so many veterans of our armed forces and their families, I am especially committed to making sure their service is honored and they are treated with the respect and care they have earned.

For the sacrifices members of our military have made to ensure our freedoms, we need to do everything possible to make sure they have the best career opportunities available when they return to civilian life. 

Below you will find information about the Veterans’ Employment Fair I am hosting this week, as well as information about other services my office provides to veterans and military service members.

Please share this information by forwarding this email or using the “Tell-A-Friend” and social media tools in the right sidebar.
