TAPS Plays for All: A Conversation on Sacrifice & Service
Memorial Day is a time to reflect, remember, and recommit ourselves to the ideals that so many gave their lives to defend. What are you willing to sacrifice for freedom?
Join a powerful REfresh conversation as we honor the spirit of service. Host Donna Orender will be joined by two extraordinary women whose lives and work represent the values of courage, commitment, and equity in military service and beyond.
Eries Mentzer is a United States Air Force veteran whose three-decade career includes leading national security strategies and major military transitions. Eries is committed to removing barriers to service and remains a fierce advocate for equity in military leadership. She’ll be joined by Dr. Tahina Montoya, who has more than 16 years of service at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels both in the United States and abroad. Dr. Montoya has led humanitarian missions worldwide, from Tanzania to Colombia.
