Goodwill Manasota’s director of the Veterans Services Program, C.J. Bannister, was named the John H. McLain 2015 Woman Veteran of the Year by the Sarasota County Veterans Commission. Bannister, who is a veteran of the Unites States Air Force, was hired in September of 2014 by Goodwill to lead its efforts on behalf of area veterans. Since beginning her tenure at Goodwill, Bannister has overseen the organization's efforts to provide services to returning veterans, who face heightened risks of unemployment, personal problems and homelessness. The Veterans Services Program helps eliminate barriers to employment and provides opportunities for higher-paying positions for veterans and their families, as well as connects veterans with crucial social services and support to help them re-integrate into their families, communities and jobs.
