The OWLS Podcast
The Officer Women's Leadership Symposium (OWLS) convenes experts, thought leaders, and innovators with members of the military, government, and veteran community to explore emerging trends, strengthen skills, and transform observations into actionable insights to lead positive change.
Our 2026 theme - Learn - Connect - Act - emphasizes our mission to build skills, grow networks within our community, and take action together.

OWLS x YSMMF Collab: You Should Meet Our Friend Beth Jarvis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode from our sister podcast You Should Meet My Friend, we chatted with Beth Jarvis. Beth and Elisabeth met along the sidelines of soccer and basketball when our daughters were in high school. Beth is an Army vet, an Army brat, and an Army spouse. Like many military spouses, Beth has worked both traditional jobs and for many volunteer organizations that support children and military family members.
After attending Georgetown and earning a graduate degree in communications, she now works for the Microsoft Military Affairs team, managing the relationships with all base organizations involved in supporting Microsoft Software and System Academies.
One of the reasons we wanted to interview Beth is that there are two things that she is incredibly skilled at: experiencing everything that Washington DC has to offer (she is a Vet Tix power user) and making and keeping friends. We know you will enjoy this great conversation!
