Bill Benson - Boots2Roots

After Bill Benson left the U.S. Army to start a new life in Maine with his family, there were many changes to navigate — including the ups and downs of running a small business with his wife before he joined Portland-based nonprofit Boots2Roots as program director. Bill, who became the group’s executive director in early 2020, talks about his transition to civilian life and how Boots2Roots helps returning military members hit the ground running in Maine.
