Veteran Protege Joe Grant, US Marine Corps (Ret.) said, "The ACP event last night at Alcoa Corporate Center was awesome. Talent/HR folks from Verizon and Alcoa gave some good tips and the exchange amongst all the participants was energizing and very helpful...I did some good networking and also exchanged some ideas and frustrations with fellow veterans of all ranks and services. Great stuff!"
