On this episode of Sharing Goodwill, Goodwill of Orange County’s CEO Nicole Suydam connects over conversation with Antoinette Balta, the Executive Director and Co-Founder of Veterans Legal Institute. Serving as an Officer with the California State Guard herself, Antoinette noticed that many of the issues that contributed to chronic homelessness for veterans were legal in nature and required the assistance of an attorney – and thus, Veterans Legal Institute came to life to help serve this need and change lives for our deserving service members. Nicole and Antoinette discuss the mission and impact of Veterans Legal Institute, the importance of collaboration and partnership among organizations, recent successes and challenges faced by the nonprofit law firm, and ways people can get involved. So take a listen, we hope you enjoy this episode of Sharing Goodwill!
