CHARLESTON, S.C., Nov. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort
to increase their reach to students, educators and veterans and the
involvement of the 69 living recipients of the Medal of Honor in
the delivery, The Congressional Medal of Honor Society and
Foundation today announced transformational operational changes
that include new platforms to deliver educational programs
virtually, streamlined operations, and launched a new interactive
website (www.cmohs.org) that will better serve their members,
supporters and donors.
During this year of drastic changes and disruptions in the
corporate and nonprofit sectors, the Society and Foundation have
worked diligently to make necessary and positive changes to their
operational dynamics that strengthen their focus to educate,
connect, inspire, preserve, and support.
The numerous programs and initiatives of the Society continue to
grow, which includes the Character Development Program, the
Veterans Outreach Program, The Citizen Honors Awards, the Medal of
Honor Museum on board the USS Yorktown, and the preservation of
archives and historical research of the over 3,500 Recipients of
the Medal of Honor.
With the Society focused on education and outreach around their
core values of courage, sacrifice, commitment, integrity,
citizenship, and patriotism, the Foundation can expand their
development efforts in support of the Society. These operational
changes have allowed the Society to further expand its educational
programs through the Character Development Program.
