MSCCN Wins the Prestigious "Diversity Employer" Award for 2008 :: from the
Diversity Military World Organization

On October 4, 2008, Dr. Chu, Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness,
presented the MSCCN with the Diversity Military World Homefront Award for Diversity.
"We were the only nonprofit selected to win this award," said Deb Kloeppel. It was
the most compelling moment in MSCCN's four year history."

240 invited guests included Flag and Senior Officers and
Enlisted military members and their spouses. Also in attendance
were top DOD and OSD government officials and top military
supportive employers.

"I looked out into the crowd of 240 faces and realized I had
the entire floor for a 15-minute period during my keynote" said
Deb Kloeppel, President and CEO of MSCCN and Pinnacle
Foundation. "It was a surreal moment."

"For some reason the words came out effortlessly when talking
to this prestigious crowd about the patriotism, unyielding
dedication, and staying power of military spouses. Trying never
to tug at heart strings during a keynote, I focused my subject
matter on military spouse staying power. The topic resonated
with this particular military and corporate crowd. If MSCCN
never wins another award, it wouldn't matter. Taking home a
diversity award from the Diversity Military World Organization
is the ONLY award I ever wanted or needed."
