The USAA Educational Foundation

The USAA Educational Foundation team had an great time at the Southwest Women Veterans Enrollment Summit last month in San Antonio!

Over two inspiring days, we connected with women veterans from across the region, shared financial education resources, and had meaningful conversations about financial readiness and lifelong success.

We are grateful for the opportunity to learn from the experiences and stories shared by attendees. Every conversation reinforced the importance of supporting those who have served and strengthening the communities we call home.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to connect with us. We enjoyed meeting you and look forward to future opportunities to serve and support the women Veteran community. Center for Women Veterans, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
