Doug Bryant educates for veterans
Hillcrest Healthcare’s Director of Human Resources Doug Bryant welcomed an invitation to return to the Disney Institute to lead a class at the Veterans Institute Summit in September 2021.
Disney Institute helps professionals and organizations learn how to leverage business practices used by Disney parks and resorts. The Veterans Institute Summit is a free event aimed to help companies build effective veteran hiring programs.
Summit topics will come from Disney’s own Heroes Work Here initiative as well as advice from experts and firsthand accounts from veterans about transitioning to the civilian workforce. Both in-person and virtual sessions will be available.
