The National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) proudly welcomes the New Jersey State Veterans Chamber of Commerce (NJSVCC) as the newest member of its Military and Veteran Organization (MVO) Task Force. Since its founding in 2018, NJSVCC has been a powerful advocate for Veterans, military spouses, and student Veterans across New Jersey, working to improve economic opportunities and access to contracting for Veteran-owned businesses.
Led by Founders Jeff Cantor, CEO, and Francisco Cortes, president, NJSVCC has helped members secure millions in contracts since its inception. The organization hosts numerous procurement and supplier diversity events, provides resilience training and marketing support, and facilitates networking opportunities ranging from formal business forums to community events such as fishing trips, music festivals, and golf outings.
In addition to business support, NJSVCC offers the Warrior Portal — a centralized resource hub providing Veterans with access to jobs, healthcare, education, and other vital services to support their transition from service and future success.
“NJSVCC is committed to creating fair economic opportunities for Veterans and their families,” said Cortes. “Joining the NVBDC MVO Task Force allows us to amplify our impact and work alongside like-minded organizations dedicated to Veteran business success.”
NJSVCC supports members with essential services including assistance with New Jersey Veteran-Owned Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business certifications and connections to key regional and federal procurement platforms.
Together, NVBDC and NJSVCC aim to foster an environment where Veteran businesses can thrive through expanded advocacy, networking, and contracting opportunities.
