Eric Eversole leads Hiring Our Heroes, a grassroots initiative to help veterans, transitioning servicemembers, and military spouses find meaningful employment in communities across America. As executive director, Eversole manages the day-to-day operations and strategically engages the program’s public- and private-sector partners in an effort to connect businesses to the talented men and women transitioning out of military as well as their spouses. For nearly two decades, Eversole has shown a strong commitment to the military and the men and women who serve. He first entered military service in 1994. Eversole founded the Military Voter Protection Project (MVP Project)—a program dedicated to promoting and protecting the voting rights of active duty military members and their spouses. In addition, Eversole was an adjunct professor for the AMVETS Legal Clinic at Chapman University, which provides free legal representation and support to active duty servicemembers and veterans.
