ADD THIS TO YOUR LEADERSHIP TOOLKIT:

Are you an effective leader?

The answer is that what you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you say.

Effective leaders have many positive traits and habits. One trait is they look out for the welfare of their Soldiers. That means they have solutions in their leader tool kit for problems if they arise.

One problem is when a current or former service member, who is no longer on active duty, experiences financial hardship as a result of an injury incurred in the line of duty. Have you ever had to navigate the Army Reserve’s incapacitation pay claim process or the VA disability claim process? It is not something that happens overnight. So, how do you solve for that problem?

The answer is the 108th Griffon Association.

We provide financial grants up to $500 to help current and former service members if they experience a financial hardship as a result of an injury incurred in the line of duty. Grants are made based on the availability of funds and based on supporting documentation that can be reviewed and approved by the association board of directors.
