Frank Wetherby

Frank served in the US Army 1965-1986 as an infantry operations and
intelligence specialist. He spent eleven years in Southeast Asia. Additionally he
was posted to two US Embassies, served in the 5th and 10th Special Forces, had a
tour as a drill sergeant, and was one of the few noncommissioned officers chosen
to attend the Army’s organizational effectiveness program. Frank has a Bachelor
of Science degree in Organizational Behavior.

After military retirement his initial employment was at Mount Snow where
he developed and designed various programs which included an initial hire
orientation, a skier ambassador program, and implemented the TIPS (training for
intervention procedures) program. The programs collectively improved employee
morale and reduced liability costs.

He helped to initiate The Warrior Connection whose mission was to address
PTSD. Most of his service has been helping veterans in various capacities as a
Disabled Veteran Outreach Program (DVOP), coordinated three Standdown’s, and
mentored veterans in The Warrior Connection. Frank’s professional skills in

his successes in assisting veterans.
