Founded in November 2017, the Minority Veterans of America (MVA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was designed to change the narrative of the American military veteran. The team of MVA works to build a community around the unique identities that veterans hold, outside of their identity as a military servicemember.The primary underrepresented groups that MVA serves are: veterans of color, womxn, LGBTQ, and religious and non-religious minorities. We believe that through bringing these four minority groups together, we can build a veteran community that encompasses veterans from a wide range of diverse backgrounds and experiences.MVA was founded by two University of Washington Husky veterans, Lindsay Church and Katherine Pratt. Church and Pratt first began their work in 2014 through the Husky United Military Veterans where they built a Diversity Committee that celebrated the underrepresented groups within the student veteran community at the University of Washington.Since 2014, Church and Pratt have collaborated to lead the student veteran population at the UW, Church through her role in the Student Veteran Life office, and Pratt as the President of the student veteran organization, Husky Veterans. Today, they partner to build and grow MVA in order to celebrate the identities that they both feel that they hold that make them underrepresented in the veteran community.

PNW Veterans Week

PNW Veterans Week will provide outreach, resources, events, community connection, and volunteer opportunities for veterans, service members, and military family members in safe and equitable spaces from Thursday, November 6 to Tuesday, November 11, 2025.

In this workshop we take a look at protecting ourselves and our data across a routinely ignored risk surface, wireless. From your home to class or the office, we are constantly broadcasting and interacting with multiple wireless technologies, many of which carry significant risk to your data. Come join us for a discussion about the security concerns associated with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Sidewalk, Zigbee, Thread, NFC/RFID, and Cellular. Participants will:<ul><li>Learn about data “over-the-air” (OTA)</li></ul><ul><li>Discover methods and resources to mitigate personal/professional wireless risk</li></ul><ul><li>Gain new insight about the invisible digital risk all around us</li></ul>Facilitated by: Maxine Filcher, ioActiveDesigned for: Community Members, Community Providers, Employers, Educators and StudentsThis program receives funding from King County VSHSL
