This session examines the successful transition of military veterans into careers in local government, building on insights from ICMA’s Veterans Guide to Finding a Job in Local Government and the lived experiences of veterans currently serving in city and county roles. Through a candid panel discussion, participants will explore key aspects of the transition process, including navigating civilian hiring systems, translating military experience into public-sector roles, adapting to new workplace cultures, and rediscovering purpose through public service.
