"Marrying into the military six years ago, I've witnessed first-hand an entire culture of people who give of their time, energy and talents," said Michele Bradfield, executive director of InDependent. "They selflessly help progress their spouses' careers, take care of their children, volunteer for their communities, schools, and Family Readiness Groups, often at the expense of their own personal well-being. Motivated to give back to those who always give, InDependent and Army Wife Network set out to create an event that addresses the specific needs of military spouses."
Day themes and sponsors for the summit include:
• Day 1: Invest in Your Future -- Sponsored by the USAA Educational Foundation
• Day 2: Invest in Physical and Mental Health Sponsored by QALO Rings
• Day 3: Invest in Eating Well -- Sponsored by MSB New Media
• Day 4: Invest in Your Relationship -- Sponsored by Thrive Market
• Day 5: Invest in Preventative Wellness -- Sponsored by MetLife Dental
All summit registrants will receive a FREE one-year membership to Thrive Market ($49 value), plus one-week of virtual health training by: Fit.Active.Toned. Everyone who registers for the event will also be eligible to win exclusive giveaways.
