Transitioning from a military career to civilian life can be challenging, but Lester Lombad, a veteran Air Force and current President of the Southern Nevada Chamber of Commerce, has navigated this journey with impressive success. How did his security clearance and background play a significant role in helping him find a job? Listen in as we delve into his unique experiences as a military spouse and entrepreneur, and how his involvement with the Southern Nevada Veterans Chamber of Commerce has been pivotal in providing resources to veterans and military families.

The Chamber's various programs and partnerships, such as the Emerging Vets and Players (MVP) Program, have made a considerable impact in the veteran community. But what challenges do veterans face in finding the right resources to meet their needs? Lester shares his insights on the importance of raising community-wide visibility for veteran nonprofits and state-sponsored programs, and how the Chamber's efforts have helped bridge the gap between veterans and employers.

Finally, we shed light on the often under recognized veteran populations in places like Hawaii and Las Vegas, and the role the West Coast plays in military outreach. As we explore the support provided by the Southern Nevada Chamber of Commerce, Lester offers valuable advice for other veterans looking to succeed in their personal and professional lives.
