FeMil℠ and FeMil Lead℠: Redefining Female Veteran Leadership During National Invest In Veterans Week®
FeMil℠ and FeMil Lead℠: Empowering Female Veteran Entrepreneurs During National Invest In Veterans Week®
Female veteran entrepreneurs are transforming the global economy through resilience, innovation, and leadership. Programs like FeMil℠ and FeMil Lead℠, introduced by Angel Shuford during National Invest In Veterans Week® (March 1–7), are breaking systemic barriers for women veterans in business.
FeMil℠ equips early-stage female entrepreneurs with tools to secure funding, build networks, and establish sustainable businesses. FeMil Lead℠ takes this a step further, offering advanced mentorship, leadership training, and growth strategies to help female veterans scale their businesses and dominate their industries.
During National Invest In Veterans Week®, these initiatives shine, advocating for legislative change like the Invest in Veterans Stimulus Act and hosting events that connect veterans with resources and investors. FeMil℠ and FeMil Lead℠ are not just programs—they’re movements redefining female veteran leadership.
Mark Your Calendar: Celebrate on March 6 the birthday of Angel Shuford by joining FeMil℠ and FeMil Lead℠ in honoring and empowering veteran entrepreneurs.
