SERVICES AND GRANTS PROVIDED VARY BY CASE BUT INCLUDE EMPLOYMENT TRANSITION SERVICES, PAID INTERNSHIPS, COOPERATIVE EDUCATION AND FAMILY STABILIZATION SUPPORT. FINDING A JOB IN TODAY'S MARKET IS COMPETITIVE AND DIFFICULT ENOUGH FOR THE AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL SEEKING EMPLOYMENT, BUT IT IS EVEN HARDER FOR SERVICE MEMBERS WHO HAVE SPENT THE LAST DECADE DEPLOYING TO COMBAT ZONES. ADDITIONALLY, FOR THOSE TRANSITIONING FROM YEARS OF SERVICE WITH A SPECIAL OPERATION UNIT, FINDING A POSITION IN TODAY'S BUSINESS WORLD BRINGS CERTAIN CHALLENGES NOT ORDINARILY FACED BY CIVILIANS. HOWEVER, SPECIAL OPERATIONS VETERANS HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE OVER THEIR CIVILIAN COUNTERPARTS. THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE FOUND IN SPECIAL OPERATIONS VETERANS IS THAT THEY EMBODY AND DEMONSTRATE AGILITY BY ANTICIPATING CHANGE, INITIATING ACTION, GENERATING CONFIDENCE, LIBERATING THINKING, AND EVALUATING RESULTS. 1325383 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 11 0 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY X AUSTIN MOORE 4048044692 PO BOX 2034 SMYRNA GA 30081 MARK WHALING CHAIRMAN 4.00 X X 0 0 0 JEFF JACOBS VICE CHAIRMAN 4.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURENT ROUX TREASURER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 CLINT KOLLAR DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAN PORITZKY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 TODD KOETJE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVE PEARSON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ROB KIRILA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 KIM CAMPBELL DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DR RICK STRAIN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARK MULCAHY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SIMON MACIOCH ALUMNI DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 AUSTIN MOORE CEO 40.00 X 178646 0 7292 JOSHUA F JOHNSON DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS 40.00 X 120556 0 7495 ROBERT E PAYNE DIRECTOR OF CORPORATE ENGAGEMENT 40.00 X 106400 0 4433 405602 0 19220 3 0 1 0 ATLANTIC LEADERSHIP GROUP 6276 FIRETHORN LANE CLARKSVILLE MD 21029 CONSULTANT 227300 1 1811676 1811676 33313 33313 1844989 0 0 33313 185938 159418 6110 20410 644518 552592 21177 70749 169351 133170 35938 243 45619 35873 9681 65 88610 1833 86777 3673 2483 450 740 11893 5523 3435 2935 1267 379 830 58 146244 123040 72 23132 7919 7919 4407 4407 EVENTS 276210 112772 163438 CANDIDATE PROGRAMMING & 198300 198300 OTHER EXPENSES 12165 12165 1796114 1325383 102184 368547 1405716 444355 432199 624191 41002 78096 4927 9301 13869 1202 0 12667 958070 18227 22597 1902071 2149277 35220 208845 35220 208845 X 1866851 1940432 1866851 1940432 1902071 2149277 48875 24706 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1090409 968224 1680072 1770030 1811676 7320411 1090409 968224 1680072 1770030 1811676 7320411 7320411 1678 237 42 43 33313 35313 7355724 0.99520 0.97650 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 13869 1202 12667 12667 X 1873295 24706 3600 28306 1844989 0 1844989 1799714 3600 3600 1796114 0 1796114 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES AS AN ORGANIZATION (NOT A PRIVATE ORGANIZATION) FORMED FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES AND IS TAX-EXEMPT UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
