Bunker Connect is a new approach to fostering a community of mentorship for service members, veterans, military spouses and supporters who are navigating professional and personal transitions. The program creates meaningful connections to advisors, community partners, and local employee resource groups as it inspires and equips the military community for success.

Made possible by the Schultz Family Foundation, Bunker Connect is harnessing the wisdom, expertise, and network that already exists to up-level our community. Come connect with your community - to share your wisdom and learn from others with insight - and have a great time doing so.

Expect great food, good beer and excellent conversations.

You don’t have to do this all on your own. It’s time to connect – Bunker Connect.
