2020 Changes Ahead for Impact A Hero

Big Changes Ahead for the New Year!
We hope the start to your 2020 has been going well so far! A new year is often marked with reflection of the past as well as planning for the future. This is no different for organizations like Impact A Hero!

Looking back, we are proud to say we ended 2019 strong! Program wise, we held six Financial Fitness courses across the Greater Houston Area, brought 80+ veterans and their Families to two Operation Impact Retreats, held numerous Veteran’s Voice Toastmasters meetings and provided countless hours of mentorship and coaching.

We also marked our 15th anniversary at the annual Hall of Fame Gala and 10k/5k – Run, walk and Wheel. Our annual motorcycle ride, Hero’s Highway, and our annual golf tournament, Links and Drinks, were also held. We debuted a new bicycle ride, The Freedom Ride, which we are excited to have as another annual event.

A new year also brings about changes. Impact A Hero is starting 2020 in a new location. In order to make ourselves more available and connected to the veterans in the community, we are now officing out of Combined Arms at 2929 McKinney St. in East Downtown Houston. With this move, we know we will have an even greater impact on veterans and their families.

I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that two wonderful staff members will not be moving with us in to 2020. All of the events, programs and accomplishments noted above were because of the hard work and dedication of the team here at Impact A Hero. After 5 years of devotion to the organization, our Director of Marketing and Communications, Laurel Goodroe, has made the hard decision to resign. Due to the needs of his family, Ryan Avila, our Director of Operations for the last two years, has accepted a new position and is also leaving the organization. We are grateful for their dedication over the years and sad to see them go but hope you will join us in wishing them the best in their new endeavors.

We will be posting future open positions with Impact A Hero through LinkedIn, so be sure to follow us on LinkedIn as well as Facebook for updates.

Moving into 2020 we will continue to host all our annual events and provide impactful Post-Traumatic Growth programing for veterans and their families. This new year, and new decade will be amazing, and we can’t wait to see how things progress!

If you are in the area, please stop by Combined Arms so we can give you a tour of the new space!

 

Cheers to the new year,

 

 

 

Mike Nasche

Executive Director
