Serving Those Who Serve in the U.S. Military with Kathy Roth-Douquet and Nadine Epstein

When Kathy Roth-Douquet became a military spouse, she experienced firsthand the challenges military families face, from frequent relocations and deployments to building a life in unfamiliar communities far from family and friends. Those experiences led her to ask an important question: What does it mean to truly support the families of those who serve our country? Join Roth-Douquet, founder and CEO of Blue Star Families, the nation’s largest nonprofit dedicated to supporting military families, for a conversation about the power of community, the importance of supporting those who serve, and how personal experience can inspire meaningful change.

Roth-Duquet also explains how she defines leadership, offers advice to women who are creating their own organizations and shares the importance of Judaism in her life today, including studying for her Bat Mitzvah as an adult. In conversation with Moment Editor-in-Chief Nadine Epstein. For her strength, vision, and leadership in turning personal experience into a powerful force for change, Kathy Roth-Douquet is the recipient of Moment’s 2026 Women & Power Award.
