Congressman Tim Walz & Veterans Play Project

This week, former Sgt. Maj. now Congressman, Tim Walz joins us to talk about his service and three bills he’s working on in the U.S. House’s Committee on Veterans Affairs to help our veterans. Artistic Director Leah Cooper of the Footprints Collective also joins us to talk about their new collaboration, the Veterans Play Project.

This week’s veteran is Connie Coutier of Bloomington. Connie recently completed several full time tours in support of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a Master Sergeant, she ran the Awards and ID Card Section for a year before becoming First Sergeant of a Soldier Readiness Center. During that mobilization she helped develop the first Pre-­Retirement Seminar program for the Army Reserve and National Guard. With more than 20 years of management experience, she is eager to continue her career helping others.

Connie and hundreds of others are ready to work hard on their next mission. Can we Hire Minnesota’s Heroes? To connect with Connie contact the Minneapolis WorkForce Center at 612-­821­‐4009 or visit: PositivelyMinnesota.com/Veterans.
