The luncheon will kick off the 31st annual Fleet Week New York, which will take place from May 22-28. Attendees will include veteran C-level executives and employees of publicly listed companies, high-ranking military officials, and student veterans from local New York colleges.

The event is being organized by Mark Otto, Global Markets Commentator for GTS and U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran. Otto also serves as Executive Director of the United War Veterans Council (“UWVC”), which is the organization that produces the New York City Veterans Day Parade.

“I am thrilled to organize the first-ever ‘Veterans in the Workplace’ luncheon at the NYSE to kick off Fleet Week in New York,” Otto said. “This event will be a great opportunity to honor both those who are actively serving as well as veterans who, after serving our country, have rejoined the workforce to serve our capital markets.”

The event will feature three keynote speakers:

  • Dean Chamberlain, CEO of Mischler Financial, West Point graduate and former U.S. Army Officer;
  • Rear Admiral John Mustin, Deputy Commander of the U.S. Second Fleet and Naval Surface Force Atlantic;
  • Jon Scholl, President of the Health Group at Leidos, U.S. Naval Academy graduate and 5-year U.S. Navy veteran; and
  • Diego Rubio, U.S. Army Veteran and Co-founder of Women Veterans on Wall Street (“wVOWS”)

“It is an honor to deliver a keynote address for a unique program that includes fellow military veterans in the workforce,” Chamberlain said. “As the CEO of the industry’s oldest service-disabled veteran-owned business, it is always inspiring to work alongside corporations that provide veterans with opportunities to leverage the skills acquired in the course of their service and provide focused programs to help them successfully transition to new careers.”

In addition to the keynote speakers, the luncheon will provide attendees with a networking opportunity, and will highlight topics including veteran-hiring retention and the different initiatives companies are taking to help veterans.

Approximately forty C-level executives and employees from publicly listed companies such as Wabash National (NSYE: WNC), DHI Group (NYSE: DHX), Leidos (NYSE: LDOS) and Samsung will be in attendance.

Fleet Week is a weeklong celebration of the U.S. military’s sea services and gives the citizens of New York the opportunity to meet and interact with members of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard. This year, the U.S. Navy expects about 2,600 Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen will be on hand.

Veteran-Owned Broker-Dealer Pays Tribute to Veterans Day

Veteran-Owned Minority Broker-Dealer Mischler Financial Group Makes 2016 Veterans Day Month Pledge

Courtesy of MarketsMedia Stamford, CT & Newport Beach, CA –Veterans Day is observed by Americans each year on November 11; the day that is dedicated to honoring and extending our gratitude to the millions of men and women who have served within the US military. At Mischler Financial Group (“Mischler”), the financial industry’s oldest institutional brokerage and investment bank owned and operated by service-disabled veterans, Veterans Day is observed every day, and each November Mischler pledges a percentage of the entire month’s profits to carefully-vetted charitable organizations that support veterans and their families in recognition of this national holiday.

To honor Veterans Day Month 2016, Mischler Financial Group has made a financial pledge to three separate organizations that go above and beyond the call of duty to support military veteran families and local communities. Those 501c3 organizations are Bob Woodruff Foundation, The Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund and Buildon.org.

Stated Dean Chamberlain, Chief Executive of Mischler Financial, a 20-year veteran of the securities industry and a U.S. Military Academy at West Point alumni, “There are now more than 22 million Americans who have served with integrity and honor in the US Armed Forces, yet when transitioning back to civilian roles, too many are encountering challenges as they seek higher ground. The Mischler Financial year-round philanthropic mission is dedicated to the military veteran community at large, and Veterans Day Month provides a special opportunity for our trading desk and our clients to work together to give back and pay forward to the veteran community in ways that can truly help change lives for the better.”

Added Chamberlain, “This past May, we made our Memorial Day Month pledge to crowdfund campaign Veterans Education Challenge,  as we believe that advanced education is a core component to both personal and professional success. The organizations that we have pledged our Veterans Day Month support to provide equally unique runways by which veterans can further bolster their knowledge base and self-confidence, and in turn, help them to more easily target and capture opportunities as they advance forward.”
