About this Event
Redefining Your Future Symposium
Transitioning from military life is more than a career decision—it’s a shift in identity, community, and daily rhythm. This one-day symposium is designed for servicewomen, veterans, and military spouses who are exploring what comes next on a personal level.
This isn’t about resumes, job interviews, or long-term programming. It’s a space for thoughtful conversation, shared experience, and helpful tools to support your next steps.
Who It's For:
- Active duty preparing for transition
- National Guard, Reserves, retirees, and veterans
- Military spouses from all branches
- Civilian allies welcome as space allows. Priority is given to attendees with military affiliation. We will not turn anyone away.
What to Expect:
- Personal reflection and identity-focused conversations
- Access to information and support resources
- Time to connect with others navigating similar transitions

Why Do You Need a Professional Headshot?
Because how you present yourself is how others will perceive you. They make that judgment in just a few milliseconds of viewing your headshot. If you don’t immediately strike them as professional, approachable, and capable of providing them with the best service possible, they will move on. Having a well-crafted professional headshot will greatly increase the chances of you being contacted by your target audience.
Charlie Cotugno has spent several decades creating images for businesses and business people from just about every industry. His headshots are known for showing his subjects' confidence, professionalism, and approachability. It’s why he’s known as “Seattle's Headshot Specialist”!
