HERNDON, Va., March 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- B3 Group, An Octo Company is proud to announce that Dwight Hunt, Strategic Advisor for Veterans Initiates at Octo, has joined the Women Veterans Interactive Foundation (WVIF) Board of Directors. An organization for women Veterans by women Veterans, WVIF supports connects, engages, and empowers women Veterans with tools and resources to achieve post-military success through financial assistance, workforce development, and community.
"After being in the military for 20 years, it was not until I got involved with WVIF that I realized the need to support this underserved and underrecognized population," said Dwight Hunt. The services that women Veterans need differs from male Veterans, such as immediate housing, women's health services, childcare, mental health care, and much more. Being on the WVIF Board allows me to continue my commitment to serving the military, beyond my own experience."
Women constitute more than 14% of today's active-duty soldiers, with a projected increase in the future as more women continue to enter the Armed Forces. Women traditionally do not receive the same support and services as their male counterparts. WVIF has been able to provide emergency food and shelter for homeless women Veterans and their families, meeting the increasing demand for immediate resources. "Dwight and B3 Group have been integral to WVIF's platform over the past three years," said Ginger Miller, CEO of WVIF. "As a Veteran-owned and operated organization, they have been significant partners to our mission and the addition of Dwight to the board will provide us valuable insights as we continue to grow and raise awareness for this underserved population." Ginger Miller, a Navy Veteran, was recently appointed to the United Service Organizations (USO) Board of Governors by President Biden, serving alongside her other roles as CEO of WVI Foundation and Northwest Federal Credit Union Advisory Board Member.
