Board of Directors
The dedicated leaders who guide Hope4Veterans and champion the women we serve.
Lynn Geiser (Tank)
Founder & Executive Director — Served Army 1993–2004
Her passion and dedication to veterans and their families leads to her history of challenges that she faced after she left the military. She faced homelessness, unemployment, lack of resources, support and peer help but her dedication working with military families, helping with Employment needs has gained the ability to feel that she is strong and important to be able to tell her recovery story. She still needs the tools to conquer her goals and the assistance from other military women to make HOPE4VETS the opportunity for other Military Women to find their purpose/dream. With the help of our community, Military Women and their families we try to give HOPE back.
