Kathleen Palmer

Director of Content

 
Kathleen began her public speaking journey at Battle Mountain High School, where her beloved seniors asked her to be the guest speaker at their 1996 high school graduation, and she hasn’t stopped talking since! She has spoken at a variety of events, from motivational speaking at sports camps, FRG and Spouses’ Club meetings, and banquets, to military benefit briefings to soldiers and spouses. Kathleen has parlayed her 28 years as a teacher and coach into her love and support of military spouses. In that realm she has facilitated FLAGS Leadership Training at the Army War College and co-chaired the 2018 Spouse Project to include a range of video and resources called The Mighty Military Spouse. She has recently presented at the 2022 Pillar Deployment Retreat. She currently writes and creates podcasts for Mission: Milspouse. You can listen to some of her podcasts here.
