Everything Chaunte Hall does is for the generations to come.
It is the unwavering principle that has guided her from her first day in uniform to her current leadership roles across San Antonio.
Whether mentoring youth, supporting veterans, or strengthening military-civilian partnerships, Hall lives by the belief that if we cannot see the worth in others, then we have lost our way.
Hall is the Chief of Community Engagement for Port San Antonio, but her path to this role began decades earlier, just across the street at Lackland Air Force Base.
She joined the United States Air Force at the age of 17, having been recruited by her own father, who was proud to sign his daughter up for service.
Raised in a military home with two parents who served, Hall’s foundation was built on service and sacrifice.
“It’s the core of who we are,” she said.
That legacy deepened when the world shifted on September 11, just two years into her enlistment. Like many Americans, Hall’s plans changed. She had to pause her college education as deployments increased. But she refused to let her education stall.
In Japan, she began self-studying through distance education at Liberty University, refusing to give up on her dreams.
Later, she continued her education at the University of Phoenix, and her persistence paid off. Hall graduated with a Master of Public Administration degree with a concentration in government policy, along with a doctorate in business administration, and numerous professional certifications.
But for Hall, the degrees are not about personal achievement.
They serve as an example for the next generation.
“I’m an example of lifelong learning,” she explained. It is a message she shares often as she leads classes and community efforts. She teaches others to take the opportunity, even if you have to fight for it.
Her journey came full circle when she accepted her current position at Port San Antonio.
The office sits across the street from the base where she once trained, and now she helps bridge military and civilian communities, guiding others with the same determination that defined her own career.
Hall also serves as CEO and founder of Centurion Military Alliance and co-founder of the Airman Heritage Group, organizations devoted to strengthening the veteran community and preserving military legacy.
Every arena where Hall serves, whether as an executive, veteran, mentor, or community builder, is rooted in a deep sense of purpose.
“Once we start looking in the mirror and we only see ourselves, we’re done,” she said. Hall chooses instead to reach ahead into the future, and to serve it with everything she has.
