TVC Executive Director and Army veteran Tom Palladino was the featured speaker at the Borderplex Veteran & Family Caregiver Expo. Held March 21-22, 2025, in El Paso, it presented over a dozen veteran services, resources, and benefits providers. The expo featured panel discussions, question and answer sessions, and presentations on a wide range of topics from financial assistance to crisis intervention.
Palladino informed the crowd about TVC services and partnerships in the area. This included TVC co-locations with the VA, at military facilities, job centers and at El Paso’s Veterans One Stop Center. TVC staff participated in panel discussions and presentations, plus, had a booth there to provide assistance and information on TVC service to attendees.
“It was a very successful event that connected hundreds of veterans with an array of organizations that provide services,” said Palladino. “TVC served many veterans on the spot with claims and employment services.”
