There's a great-sounding event taking place from June 18th through the 21st based on helping soldiers who are severely wounded from the wars in the middle east develop their business skills.

 "Through these leadership summits, The Hartford and the Wounded Warrior Project are giving the severely wounded men and women of our armed forces an amazing opportunity to improve their personal finance knowledge and develop the skills needed to form solid business relationships," said Wounded Warrior Project Founder and Executive Director John Melia. "The leadership summits will help inspire and motivate the warriors to achieve their personal and business goals." 

According to a joint press release from the Wounded Warrior Project and The Hartford, there are roughly 31,000 wounded veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and this event seems like a good way to help them learn ways to further their careers back here in the States.

 "These brave men and women are returning from the front lines with a diverse set of experiences, leadership skills, and knowledge that directly translate to the business world," said Ramani Ayer, chairman and CEO of The Hartford. "As a corporate community and a nation, we have a responsibility to recognize the enormity of the sacrifice these individuals have made and to help them return from the battlefield to business." 

Events at the Summit will include a small business ownership forum, a financial literacy seminar, a career fair and a seminar on "business golf" etiquette with PGA Tour pros, and a golf tournament.

It sounds like it will be fun as well as educational.
