Join 250+ military spouse leaders, command leadership and family service professionals from across San Diego! Attendees include Navy Command Ombudsman, Marine Family Readiness Officers, social service professionals, local and national government, elected official’s offices, military friendly corporate partners, etc.  Together this group touches and supports the life and service of the 68,000 active duty personnel and families that call San Diego home!

Our 2016 theme is “STOP, Collaborate & Listen to Activate our 2016 Vision: Military Family “FIT KIT” – Ready & Resilient”. During the conference, participants will navigate the San Diego resource landscape in real-time in order to understand the challenges families face. Our goal is for attendees to leave the conference with a full “fit kit” of resources and an understanding of how to provide coordinated and culturally responsive services to military families in the areas of education, physical and mental health care, financial health, transition from military service and employment. Over the next year we will continue to add to our kits at our monthly convenings.
