Mission StatementGoldman Sachs Veterans Network

The Goldman Sachs Veterans Network provides firmwide leadership on

veterans’ affairs. As a bridge to the active duty ranks, the network helps the firm

recruit talented troops who are transitioning to the civilian workforce. Internally,

we enhance the professional development and retention of the firm’s veterans

– including those currently serving in the Guard and Reserve – and advise the firm

on military-related engagement (e.g., charitable organizations, veteran-owned

business partnerships and community service). Our vision is to ensure that

Goldman Sachs is a military employer-of-choice and a corporate leader on its

commitment to veterans."
