Col. Nanette Brédé Mueller, USA (Ret), who served on MOAA’s board of directors from 2006-12, is chief executive officer, executive director, and co-founder of Prep Connect 360, a military-to-civilian career transition program in the Colorado Springs, Colo., area. Since its start in 2012, the weeklong program has had over 800 graduates. A cadre of nearly 50 volunteers, many of whom are graduates of the program, present topics on career assessments, interviewing, career goal development, social media, employer connections, networking, and more in a participative learning environment.

Her dedication to the program, coupled with her involvement with nearly 10 other veteran-focused organizations, including the Pikes Peak Chapter of MOAA of which she is past president, resulted in Brédé Mueller being named 2020 El Paso County Veteran of the Year.
