?INvets continues making strides in attracting our former military members to Indiana and connecting them with some of our great employers," Crouch said. "I want to congratulate the organization on all its dedicated work throughout the year to reach this milestone and all its future success to keep bringing the heroic men and women who have served our country to Indiana."
Indiana leads the nation in proactive veteran attraction efforts. INvets is a free resource for transitioning military service members to explore Indiana communities and connect directly with employers and resources across the state.
According to INvets Executive Director, Wes Wood, more than 315 employers, representing over 700 locations across Indiana, have signed up to use INvets.org [ [link removed] ] in their military recruitment efforts.

Wood said. ?The transitioning servicemember population is an ideal population to focus our attraction efforts on and INvets is here to provide an easy connection point.?
