THE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IS BASED ON A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT CURRICULUM DESIGNED TO PREPARE MILITARY VETERANS WITH SERVICE-CONNECTED DISABILITIES, MILITARY SPOUSES, AND CAREGIVERS, TO FIND SUCCESS AS THEY TRANSITION INTO THE CIVILIAN WORKFORCE. THIS FIVE-MONTH PROGRAM TRANSLATES PARTICIPANTS' MILITARY EXPERIENCE INTO WORKPLACE SKILLS THROUGH THE FOLLOWING FIVE PROGRAMMING COMPONENTS: (1) CONTINUING EDUCATION: FELLOWS EARN A CERTIFICATE IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND BUSINESS ACUMEN RESPECTIVELY THROUGH GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL OF CONTINUING STUDIES; (2) HANDS-ON LEARNING: LEVERAGING OUR BAKERY AS A LIVING BUSINESS SCHOOL, FELLOWS ROTATE THROUGH EACH OF OUR BUSINESS FUNCTIONS, COMPLETING CASE STUDIES AND PROJECTS THAT SUPPORT DOG TAG'S EVERYDAY OPERATIONS; (3) ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAINING: FELLOWS COMPLETE A CAPSTONE COURSE WHERE THEY EACH DEVELOP A BUSINESS IDEA, CULMINATING IN THE CREATION OF A BUSINESS PLAN, TWO-YEAR BUDGET, AND BUSINESS PITCH TO A PANEL OF PROFESSIONAL PARTNERS; (4) NETWORK AND COMMUNITY BUILDING: PARTNERS, EXPERTS, AND ALUMNI ARE INVITED IN TO DELIVER LEARNING LAB STYLE CONTENT, HELPING FELLOWS EXPAND THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND CONNECTIONS; (5) WELLNESS: FELLOWS COMPLETE WEEKLY WELLNESS ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT SELF-DISCOVERY, LEARNING, DEVELOPMENT, AND OVERALL WELLBEING. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE WEEKLY REFLECTION, JOURNALING, MEDITATION, AND MOVEMENT, IN ADDITION TO OUR FINDING YOUR VOICE PROGRAM, WHERE FELLOWS LEARN STORYTELLING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING, AND PRESENT A PERSONAL STORY IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM. DOG TAG FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMMING IS DELIVERED IN A HYBRID FORMAT, ENABLING MILITARY-CONNECTED INDIVIDUALS NATIONWIDE TO PARTICIPATE. FELLOWS PARTICIPATE IN A COMBINATION OF ONLINE LEARNING, AND IN-PERSON LEARNING IN WASHINGTON, DC. 710944 26712 BAKERY PROGRAM: DOG TAG INC. (DOG TAG) (DOING BUSINESS AS DOG TAG BAKERY) WAS INCORPORATED IN 2011 UNDER THE LAWS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. FELLOWS' BUSINESS COURSEWORK BUILDS A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR THE EXPLORATION AND SKILLS-BUILDING PROVIDED BY PRACTICAL ROTATIONS. WITH DOG TAG STAFF SERVING AS MENTORS AND TEACHERS, FELLOWS SPEND UP TO SIX HOURS PER WEEK IN HANDS-ON LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES ("ROTATIONS") THROUGHOUT THE OPERATIONS OF DOG TAG (INCLUDING OUR BAKERY.) ROTATIONS PROVIDE FELLOWS WITH FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE IN HOW A BUSINESS RUNS: GIVING THEM AN UNDERSTANDING OF BOTH THE DAILY TASKS AND OVERALL BIG PICTURE OF HOW THE BUSINESS FUNCTIONS. THIS INTENSIVE, EXPERIENTIAL ASPECT, WHERE FELLOWS ARE IMMERSED IN DOG TAG'S DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS, IS WHAT SETS DOG TAG APART FROM OTHER TRANSITION PROGRAMS; FELLOWS DON'T JUST STUDY BUSINESS-THEY LIVE, WORK, AND EXPERIENCE BUSINESS FIRST-HAND. THE PHYSICAL SPACE OF THE BAKERY SERVES TO SUPPORT OUR PROGRAM AS WELL AS OUR COMMUNITY. DOG TAG PARTNERS WITH OTHER VETERAN ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES AS A HUB FOR LEARNING, MENTORSHIP, AND CONNECTION; ORGANIZATIONS WITH A COMMON MISSION OFTEN USE THE BAKERY AS A MEETING AND EVENT SPACE. EACH DAY WE WELCOME OUR NEIGHBORS, PARTNERS, AND CUSTOMERS TO SUPPORT OUR ORGANIZATION THROUGH THE PURCHASE OF A COFFEE OR COOKIE AT THE BAKERY AND LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR MISSION, OUR IMPACT, AND HOW TO SUPPORT OUR VETERANS, MILITARY SPOUSES, AND CAREGIVERS. 2107410 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 81 0 1 76 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 CA FL GA IL MD NY VA X MEGHAN OGILVIE 2025279388 3206 GRACE STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 20007 RICK FONDRIEST CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PETER GROSSMAN TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIAN ROEMER SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SHARON BANNISTER MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TONY CIANCI MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH FRIEDMAN MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA FROST MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 VIVIAN GREENTREE MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TAMMY HADDAD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK HANDWERGER MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GAIL LIONE MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS RICHEY MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN ROBINSON MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MEGHAN OGILVIE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 40.00 X 127770 0 4385 DANIELLE VERBIEST COO (FROM 7/31/24) 40.00 X 44962 0 2287 MAUREEN DEVINE-AHL DIR.
