Successfully Transitioning from Active to Retired (STAR)

Mil/Gov Career Transition Seminar & Dinner

The STAR Program is AFCEA NOVA's seminar series for Government/Military employees that are in the process of career transition. This after-work event is for our uniformed military and civilian government members who are either retiring or leaving government service for the private sector in the next 12 -18 months, and is intended to build upon the information provided by the Government transition assistance programs. The event will offer attendees the opportunity to gain insights and lessons learned from others who have successfully made the transition. It also offers networking opportunities with program managers, hiring managers, and staffing professionals.
