Federal job events set for April 13

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce will offer a number of career and entrepreneurial events of potential interest to veterans on April 13. The National Chamber Foundation (NCF), a nonprofit affiliate of the Chamber of Commerce, invites veterans and all business-minded individuals to Washington throughout the week for conferences and workshops focusing on CEO leadership and entrepreneurial practices. Legion staff members will attend these events.

On April 13, the NCF will host Tom Fanning, president and CEO of Southern Company, at the Chamber of Commerce building. Fanning, a successful entrepreneur in the electricity field, will speak to event attendees about how he advanced his business in the energy sector and significantly expanded his workforce. Visit the NCF’s CEO Leadership Series website for more information on attending.

Also on April 13, the NCF will give a presentation on improving science, technology, engineering and mathematics scores for American youth. The study comes on the heels of a 2009 Department of Education report that found students in the U.S. are significantly lagging behind their international peers in these areas of study.
