“As a military mom, I know how important the transition to
civilian life can be for the entire family. JPMorgan Chase has gone
to its strengths to offer innovative support of our transitioning
service members; I am honored to join them,” said Dr. Biden.
“We’re incredibly honored to have Dr. Biden join our ranks and
help guide our efforts in serving military members and veterans as
they transition into civilian life,” said JPMorgan Chase Chief
Operating Officer Matt Zames. “Dr. Biden’s commitment to our
veterans is palpable and the experience and foresights she’ll bring
to the Advisory Council will be an invaluable addition that will no
doubt positively impact the lives of many.”
Jill Biden is a mother and grandmother, a lifelong educator, a
proud military mom, and an active member of her community. As
Second Lady, Dr. Biden worked to bring attention to the sacrifices
made by military families. Through their Joining Forces initiative,
Dr. Biden and First Lady Michelle Obama issued a national challenge
to all Americans to take action and find ways to support and engage
our military families in their own communities. Joining
Forces aimed to educate, challenge, and spark action from all
sectors of our society – citizens, communities, businesses,
non-profits, faith-based institutions, philanthropic organizations,
and government – to ensure that service members, veterans, and
their families have the tools they need to succeed throughout their
lives. With the launch of the Biden Foundation in February 2017,
Dr. Biden will continue her commitment to supporting military
families.
The JPMorgan Chase Military and Veterans Affairs External
Advisory Council, started in 2011, includes a diverse array of
individuals who are committed to uplifting service members,
veterans and their families. Current members include: General
Raymond T. Odierno (USA, Ret.), General Stanley A. McChrystal (USA,
Ret.), Command Sergeant Major Cynthia A. Pritchett (USA, Ret.),
Sergeant Major Carlton W. Kent (USMC, Ret.), Michelle Brito, Laban
P. Jackson, Jr., Nathaniel Fick, Roger T. Staubach and Matthew C.
Flavin.
JPMorgan Chase has supported veterans since before World War I.
The Military and Veterans Affairs program works closely with the
company’s business and consumer facing facets and with non-profit
and government partners to ensure that service members and veterans
and their families have access to resources including products and
services, employment opportunities, small business and strategic
initiatives, and talent acquisition and development. Since the
program started in 2011, JPMorgan Chase has hired more than 11,000
veterans and facilitated 385,000 veteran hires through the Veteran
Jobs Mission coalition; awarded more than 900 mortgage-free homes
to military families in need; helped 6,600 veterans and military
spouses complete 9,100 career certifications through Veterans
Career Transition Program at the Institute for Veterans and
Military Families, which was co-founded and is supported by
JPMorgan Chase and Syracuse University. Learn more at:
