GBCA was proud to sponsor a booth at the AGC Convention and Expo in Columbus, OH, on behalf of the Special Operators Transition Foundation (SOTF). Austin Moore, CEO, and retired Air Force Special Operations Pilot, and Gareth Gorman, Partner Engagement Specialist and a retired Army Special Forces Warrant Officer met with contractors from across the country—from Alaska to Puerto Rico—sharing how their organization connects elite veterans with top-tier leadership opportunities in the private sector.
GBCA members and staff attending the convention had the opportunity to sit down with Austin and Gareth for a meaningful conversation over dinner, learning more about their impactful mission and the talent pipeline they offer. Special thanks to Erik Simms of E.C. Fence & Iron Works, Inc. for introducing GBCA to the SOTF team at their February networking event in Philadelphia.
