Attention Veteran Owned Businesses and SDVOSBs in and around West Virginia:
Where: I-79 Technology Park Research Center, Fairmont, West Virginia
When: Tuesday September 14, 2010 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
More information: www.wvscore.org
The U.S. Small Business Administration in conjunction with its network of small business resource partners throughout West Virginia, will be hosting a Veterans Business Summit on Tuesday, Sept.14, at the I-79 Technology Park Research Center in Fairmont.
This free event will provide veterans and their spouses with training and resources on veteran-owned business financing; doing business with the federal government; strategic business planning; business legal structures; legal lessons for federal contractors; and free small business resources.
The summit will feature speakers from SBA’s Office of Veterans Affairs, Medal of Honor Recipient Hershel “Woody” Williams, numerous veteran small business owners, local lenders, and small business resource partners.
“According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 173,000 veterans reside in West Virginia making it a state with one of the highest number of veterans per capita in the nation,” said Judy McCauley, Director of SBA’s West Virginia District Office. “And veterans make great business owners. Because of their military background, they understand the importance of teamwork, have tremendous self-discipline, and often develop technical skills during their military service that serves them well as entrepreneurs.”
Federal contracting officers are actively searching for veteran-owned and service disabled veteran-owned small businesses to fulfill various contracting opportunities. According to SBA’s Office of Advocacy, there are approximately 15,000 veteran-owned small businesses in West Virginia. However, only 229 are registered to do business with the federal government.
“That number needs to be much higher,” stated McCauley. “The Veterans Business Summit is an excellent starting point for veteran-owned businesses to learn about doing business with the government. The agenda features several successful veteran small business owners who will be sharing their government contracting experience free of charge.”
The event is free for all veterans and their spouses, but pre-registration is strongly encouraged. For registration information, visit www.wvscore.org or call 1-800-767-8052 ext. 8.
Be sure to visit the Veteran Owned Business Directory’s West Virginia listing of businesses in West Virginia owned by veterans, active duty military, reservists and service disabled veterans of the United States Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard and National Guard. If your business fits the above criteria, be sure to visit VeteranOwnedBusiness.com to sign up for your company’s free listing.

VeteranOwnedBusiness.com is proud to welcome Remembering America’s Heroes of Milwaukie, Oregon (Clackamas County OR) to the Veteran Owned Business Directory Non Profit Section.
Remembering America’s Heroes Details: “Under the leadership of Executive Director Ken Buckles, Remembering America’s Heroes (RAH) provides education to youth and the community so they can understand and appreciate the value of freedom and its cost. For the past fourteen years, RAH has been known for Milwaukee High School’s Living History Day, which is the biggest and most comprehensive school program honoring Veterans in the state. In 2008, over 700 Veterans and their guests attended the all-day signature event at Milwaukie High School (MHS).
Living History Day at MHS includes speaker sessions, where small pairings of Veterans speak to students in classrooms about their experiences; a luncheon hosted by MHS students; a Gold Star Assembly that pays tribute to 50 MHS students and one teacher who lost their lives serving our country; and an impressive museum with over 50 military memorabilia/artifact collectors spread throughout the gym and outdoor areas.
The day culminates in the Assembly of Honor, a recreated USO Show that includes performances by students and professional performers, as well as comedy, words of inspiration, and special recognition of our Veterans. MHS students spend days, even weeks, decorating the campus in preparation. Many alumni come back each year to help out as well.
RAH also takes its Living History Day program on the road several times throughout the year to other schools in Oregon. RAH has helped organize Living History Day programs and assemblies at Pendleton High School.”
