March Newsletter 2026

3/12/2026

A NOTE FROM OUR CEO:

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,

Corey M. Hayes
CEO & Founder

TESTIMONIALS FROM SERVICE MEMBERS:

"I participated in a pilot program in which I got to interact with various CEOs and Executives in MN. This experience was very welcomed since it provides insight as to what the people running companies look for in individuals. The best portion for me though was offering feedback as to how they could better reach out to service members and talking about the Army ETS (Expiration Term of Service) process as a whole. Speaking on my experiences and how it can be better fine tuned so other service members can benefit from it is very rewarding for me on a personal level. I highly recommend others to participate in this program and I hope it continues."
