We honor our nation's veterans today for their brave and dedicated service. Our gratitude and thanks mirror Colonel Robert R. McCormick's sentiments, as he thanked First Division veterans at an annual Veterans Day reunion at Cantigny Park.

Congratulations to our very own, Megan Everett, Veterans Program Director, for being named one of Crain’s Chicago Business 2021 Notable Military Veteran Executives.

Megan Everett oversees strategy and grant-making for the Veterans Program. She manages a $3 million grant portfolio in partnerships with veteran and community organizations in Chicago and Illinois. Everett was commissioned as a surface warfare officer from the Cornell University Naval ROTC program in 2000. She served aboard two ships and deployed twice to the Arabian Gulf in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. During the pandemic, Everett coordinated with the USO Illinois to support the National Guard and Team Rubicon to launch COVID testing sites. She also teamed with the Travis Manion Foundation for food insecurity and Thresholds on issues of financial insecurity. She’s increased the number of organizations funded at McCormick focusing on employment, student veterans and wellness from 12 to nearly 50.
