This interactive event aims to discuss and address the challenges veterans face when transitioning from military service to careers in the transportation and supply chain logistics industry.

The live experience will feature a panel of industry experts and veteran advocates, including Daniel Donlon, Senior Advisor of Global Marketing at Indeed, Sgt.

Mahoney, EVP of Strategic Initiatives and Development at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, Joe Marino, US Army Air Defense Officer and Executive Director of Veterans Florida, and Col.

"We're thrilled to bring together this incredible group of experts to tackle such an important issue," said Beth Potratz, President and CEO of Drive My Way. "At Drive My Way, creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all individuals is one of our core values. We recognize the unique challenges faced by those transitioning from military service and are committed to bringing awareness to these issues and creating actionable solutions so that the supply chain industry can be a place where veterans thrive."

Spark Change Lab, an initiative created by co-founders Leigh Sauter, Angela Mahoney, and Beth Potratz (whose initials inspire the LAB name), is driven by a shared passion for leveraging their diverse skills to tackle the industry's most pressing challenges. “We wanted to create a collaborative environment where we could bring a timely and pressing issue out in the open, have a lively discussion about it, and then get down to the business of what’s needed to make it happen,” said Leigh Sauter.

"At Spark Change Lab, we believe diverse perspectives drive meaningful change," added Angela Colon Mahoney. "By bringing together industry leaders and veteran advocates for our very first lab experience, we aim to generate impactful solutions that will shape the future of veteran support in the transportation industry."
