Project Vanguard Appoints John Collison as Oklahoma State Chair to Boost Veteran Employment in Energy Sector
Project Vanguard, a Texas-based veterans' organization, has named John Collison as its new Oklahoma State Chair. Collison, who previously served as State Director for U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe, will lead the organization's expansion into Oklahoma. The primary goal of this expansion is to connect military veterans with employment opportunities within the state's energy industry. Project Vanguard aims to facilitate the transition of veterans into well-paying careers, thereby strengthening America's energy workforce. Collison brings extensive experience in government affairs, public policy, and economic development, having served in the United States Air Force and Oklahoma Air National Guard. Through his firm, The BlackOak Group, he collaborates with businesses, industry leaders, and policymakers across Oklahoma and the nation. Project Vanguard plans to partner with energy companies, veterans' organizations, and workforce development entities to create these career pathways for Oklahoma veterans.
