POMA proudly welcomes Colonel Nick Nichols of the folds of honor as keynote speaker at POMA’s Annual Business Conference on June 14 at Broken Arrow, Ok. Folds of Honor offers life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled US military service members and first responders. Since its inception in 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded more than 44,000 scholarships totaling more than $200 million.
Nichols is a retired F16 pilot and group commander with seven deployments over a 30-year career in the Air Force. In addition, he is an avid outdoorsman, bow hunter, and rancher who is eager to recruit outdoor enthusiasts to join his mission. Colonel Nick’s keynote will not only galvanize you into action, but will also address the strategic advantages associated with integrating cause marketing into the outdoor industry. Folds of Honor has had great success outdoors with partners such as YETI and SITKA, and the POMA Business Conference provides a valuable opportunity for the foundation to continue networking with the extensive community the association provides.
“POMA is honored to have Colonel Nick attend our business conference and speak to our members. It is truly a privilege to work with a group like theirs who have such an impact on the spouses and children of those who protect our families and our freedom,” said POMA President Michelle Scheuermann.
“I am incredibly proud to speak with the members of POMA. The Outdoors Community is a group of people who are as passionate about patriotic values as they are about the great outdoors, and it is these same values that fuel our foundation. We believe that POMA members can play an important role in spreading the word and helping us support the families of America’s heroes, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share our mission at the June conference. Together, we can make a lasting impact and ensure these families are never forgotten,” said Colonel Nichols.
