Yet these honorees have not only achieved it—they continue to elevate the employee experience through thoughtful benefits, engagement, and a deep commitment to their teams.”

For over a decade, suicide has been among the leading causes of death for post-9/11 U.S. military veterans. An overwhelming percentage of 21^st century veterans can immediately call to mind friends, loved ones, and comrades lost to suicide since the September 11^th attacks. Most also know someone who has come perilously close to a successful attempt.

As we begin 2025, KSA Integration is announcing a two-part social media campaign to increase veterans suicide awareness and promote activities we hope will contribute to preventing these terrible losses. Recent research suggests one of the few consistent indicators in supporting mental health is the importance of community and connection. Checking in on the men and women you served with — especially those with whom you’ve lost touch — really can make a difference.

Every Thursday throughout 2025, KSA’s social media feed will issue a call for our followers to participate in “Buddy Check Thursdays”. We’re encouraging veteran supporters to check in on someone whom you know is struggling, feel might be at risk, or haven’t spoken with in many years. Our intention is to promote the value of connection within the veteran caregiving community with a weekly reminder to reach out to each other (and the longer you haven’t chatted, the better). We may never know how much a text, phone call, or simple demonstration of concern can make a difference.

Additionally, on “Spotlight Saturdays”, we intend to highlight veterans service organizations, relevant non-profits, public-private partnerships, and other significant groups leading the veteran’s suicide prevention fight. We plan to shine the spotlight on at least 50 organizations, groups, and advocates this year on our social media and hope you, our followers, will support their efforts in whatever way possible as we promote them.

Our 2025 awareness campaign is barely a drop in the bucket compared with the work so many have advanced to contribute to reducing the tragic rate of veteran suicide. This year, we’re proud to support a cause in keeping with KSA Integration’s core values and humbly ask you, our social media followers, to endorse, support, and advance these efforts.

To our Team and Friends,

For almost 15 years, KSA Integration has been providing service, integrity, and value to our customers. Our dedicated professionals are more than deserving of the accolades we annually receive, including Inc. magazine’s national Best Workplace, Best for Vets, Hire Vets Platinum award, and regular compliments on excellent work. Our company is healthy, growing, and well postured to progress. Our future is bright.

We understand the impact each KSA team member brings to our customers and to the company. Our intent as owners is to sustain and grow KSA for the long-term.  As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of KSA Integration it is crucial to have a comprehensive succession plan in place.

Considering the inevitability of changes in leadership and the future growth of our company, we must proactively plan for the transition of key roles and responsibilities. A well-thought-out succession plan will not only ensure a smooth transfer of leadership but also maintain continuity in operations and uphold our company’s values and vision. For the long-term success of the company, Keith intends to evolve into a supporting role rather than as the day-to-day CEO.  And Bryan needs to be, and be seen, as the current day-to-day and future leadership of KSA, the CEO.

Effective this month, Keith will step down from the CEO title, remaining active in KSA indefinitely as Founder and majority owner.  Bryan will move into the Chief Executive Officer position, with Bob Watt replacing Bryan as Chief Operating Officer. In the near future, KSA will announce a new Director of Business Development.

As KSA’s new CEO, Bryan has a strong background in organizational leadership and strategic analysis, delivering positive outcomes in complex organizational environments. In 2015, Keith and Bryan partnered to grow KSA Integration from a sole proprietorship to a thriving small business. Most recently, as the Chief Operating Officer, Bryan had oversight of company operations and drove KSA’s operational activities in alignment with strategic goals. Prior to KSA, Bryan led analytical studies for the Homeland Security Studies and Analysis Institute, the Department of Homeland Security’s federally funded research and development center. Bryan’s experience in leading high-impact projects, developing internal business processes, and driving successful business proposals have been instrumental in advancing operational efficiency.

As KSA’s new COO, Bob brings over 20 years of proven leadership and business development expertise, having steering complex projects and driven strategic growth across government and industry sectors. As KSA’s Director of Business Development, Bob developed, managed, and executed a 5-year business pipeline encompassing government and industry markets. Prior to joining KSA, Bob directed the Navy & Marine Corps Expeditionary business segment at Booz Allen Hamilton. A retired US Air Force officer, Bob oversaw programs ranging from small-scale initiatives to multi-billion-dollar procurement efforts while on active duty. He specialized in command-and-control systems, aircraft procurement, and air and missile defense systems, playing a pivotal role in developing new analysis and decision support tools that enhanced defense capabilities.

As we grow capabilities, our vision for KSA remains the same: to support our Veterans and deliver value to our customers. The company’s success has been because of our talented team, and we are tremendously grateful for the opportunity to further its growth alongside each of you.

Very respectfully,

Keith and Bryan

Since September 2022, KSA has been supporting the Veteran Administration’s (VA) reintegration and readjustment retreat program. KSA, alongside our partner Magellan Federal, has planned and conducted 15 retreats, benefiting 199 veterans and their spouses. The VA has selected eligible veterans from across 35 states and territories for diverse cohorts, including all-female, all-male, couples, and transgender veterans. 

These retreats are thoughtfully designed, considering the unique needs of each veteran and their preferences. Our partner Magellan Federal provides clinicians, also veterans or family members of veterans, who specialize in various counseling disciplines, such as Financial and Occupational Counseling, Stress Reduction and Management Strategies, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and many others. Team KSA’s inclusive approach strikes a balance between structured classroom time and outdoor recreational activities such as canoeing and axe throwing, ensuring memorable experiences in safe and open environments. This comprehensive support covers transportation, lodging, and meals in ADA-compliant venues. Veterans consistently emphasize the positive impact retreats have on their mental health challenges.
