As we move into spring, there’s a renewed sense of energy across the EMS community.

Our recent Women’s Event was a true highlight of the month. It was incredible to bring together such a strong group of leaders, mentors, and service members for meaningful conversation and connection. The engagement and shared experiences made it a tremendous success, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped make it happen.

Moments like these remind us of the power of community and the impact we can make together.

We’re excited to carry this momentum forward in the months ahead. Thank you for being a part of the mission.

Warm regards,

March is a time to recognize and celebrate the incredible impact women make in our communities, workplaces, and families. During National Women’s History Month, we reflect on the leadership, resilience, and contributions of women across every industry. At EMS, we are grateful for the many women who serve as mentors, supporters, and leaders within our network. Their guidance helps shape the next chapter for the service members we support as they transition into civilian careers.

This month, we are also excited to welcome several new mentors to the EMS community. Each mentor brings valuable experience, insight, and a commitment to helping service members navigate their next mission beyond the military. Mentorship is at the heart of what we do, and we are grateful for those who choose to give their time and expertise to support our soldiers.

To our mentors, mentees, and supporters, thank you for continuing to strengthen this community. Your willingness to share knowledge, offer guidance, and open doors makes a lasting difference.

We look forward to continuing this important work together.

With appreciation,

​As we move further into the new year, February is a time to turn intention into action. The conversations we started in January are now taking shape, and we’re seeing strong momentum across the EMS US community.

Our continued work with Pinnacle Business Guide is already helping us refine processes and strengthen the foundation that supports our mentors and service members. Building a scalable, sustainable organization is not just about growth — it’s about ensuring we deliver meaningful impact with consistency and excellence.

What continues to inspire me most is the commitment of this network. Mentors investing their time and experience. Service members stepping forward to prepare for their next mission. Leaders choosing to give back. That shared dedication is what sets EMS US apart.

As we head into the months ahead, our focus remains clear: strengthen relationships, expand opportunities, and elevate the level of support we provide. The work we are doing together matters, and I am grateful for each of you who plays a role in this mission.

Thank you for being part of EMS US and for the leadership you bring to this community.

With appreciation,

We are excited to welcome the start of a new year at EMS US and all the opportunities it brings. As we move forward, our focus remains on growth, alignment, and setting a strong foundation for long-term success.

We’re kicking off the year by partnering with Pinnacle Business Guide to help further format and strengthen EMS US for peak performance. This collaboration will allow us to sharpen our processes, clarify our goals, and ensure we’re operating at the highest level possible. It’s an important step as we continue to scale and position ourselves for the future.

We’re also looking forward to gathering for our year-end social next week at Hearth in Eden Prairie. This event gives us a chance to reconnect, reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, and celebrate the hard work and dedication that brought us here..

We believe this year has the potential to be a breakout year for EMS US. With a strong team, clear direction, and shared commitment, we’re confident in what lies ahead. Thank you for being part of our community we’re excited to continue building, growing, and succeeding together.

​October has a way of reminding us to slow down and take stock of the people beside us, the growth behind us, and the opportunities still ahead. At EMS US, we focus on this through the stories shared between mentors and service members, in the career doors that have opened, and the sense of direction that comes from being seen and guided by someone who has been there.

Executives Mentoring Soldiers is built on people.
On those who choose to give their time, their experience, and their belief in others. Each conversation, introduction, and bit of advice all adds up to something bigger. Momentum that changes lives long after a mentorship ends.

As we continue to move through October, I just want to say thank you to every mentor who shows up without expectation, and to every service member who takes that next step with courage. You’re the reason this mission matters, and the reason it continues to grow.

With gratitude,

Corey M. Hayes

At EMS US, we see the difference every connection makes. Service members gain confidence in their next steps, mentors find purpose in giving back, and together we’re building a stronger community.

This mission is only possible because of people like you.

If you’ve ever considered getting more involved, there are so many ways to join us: volunteer your time, become a mentor, sponsor an event, or simply help us spread the word.

Every contribution helps us strengthen the bridge between service members and the civilian workforce, and ensures that everyone involved continues to grow together. Thank you for being a vital part of this community. Together, we’re not only changing lives—we’re building a legacy of support, opportunity, and connection.

At EMS US, we believe the impact of our mission can be seen not only in the stories we share, but in the numbers that back them up—and the numbers speak volumes.
     •  Over 89% of service members report high satisfaction with EMS US.
​     •  100% of service members who complete our mentorship program say they would recommend EMS US to others in uniform and their spouses.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Our mentors, leaders from across a wide range of industries, are also experiencing the rewards of connection and purpose:
     •  100% of our mentors say their involvement with EMS US has led to personal and professional growth.

These numbers confirm what we already know: when service members and mentors connect with purpose, everyone wins.

Thank you for being part of this mission. Together, we are creating opportunities, building relationships, and making a lasting impact.
