Forward March 2012: Moving Military Families Forward During Challenging Times  (4508)

10/18/2012 8:30 AM - 10/19/2012 4:45 PM

Over the past two years the Forward March Conference has been instrumental in increasing public awareness of the unique challenges faced by military families, especially in times of various conflicts and frequent deployments. The conference has been a
model of collaboration between national, state, and local organizations. It has aided in breaking down silos, building better and more effective lines of communication, and creating collaboration between military and civilian professionals who serve military
members and their families. There are many challenges that military members and their families face on a daily basis. Identifying the tools and resources in the community is necessary to effectively address their needs. The annual Forward March conference
continues to be a major catalyst for providing military and civilian resources in working with military families.
