End Veteran Debt is launching its first-ever Veteran Debt Summit (VDS) in concert with the 25 anniversary of the National WWII Museum in New Orleans.

The Summit is a shirts-sleeve, leave-your-stars-and-bars-and-ideologies at the door forum which will focus on the twin evils of veteran (and active duty) finances and debt, and a suicide rate averaging 44 per day. Participants will return home with fresh ideas and solutions for dealing with veteran homelessness, PTSD, isolation, job and food insecurity, and ills that demand correction.

Invitees include local and national veteran groups, governmental organizations (VA, House and Senate members, CFPB, and FTC), vet-centered charities, NGOs, change activists, and thought leaders who will share their experience as speakers, panelists, and subject matter experts.

This event will be held at the Higgins Hotel, 1000 Magazine Street, just a few steps from the National World War II Museum. A limited number of specially priced rooms will be available at the Higgins Hotel and Hilton Garden Inn. A link and code will be provided beginning May 16.
