Today’s guest:
Maria Goldsholl and Dana Barrett
Maria Goldsholl, COO of Mom Corps joined me via phone today to talk about National Military Spouse Appreciation Day this Friday May 9th and the difficulty military spouses often have finding work. She noted that often military spouses end up under-employed because of the relocations they have to deal with. She also mentioned that many of these spouses are afraid to let potential employers know that they are military spouses because they fear discrimination. Mom Corps has teamed with partners like Verizon and La Quinta Inns to provide Mom YOU scholarships to 20 military spouses.
