THE NVBDC CERTIFICATIONIS CHANGING HOW AMERICAN BUSINESSES
PERCEIVE VETERAN-OWNED COMPANIES.
National Veteran Business Development Council
The NVBDC adopted these rigorous standards to align with supplier diversity industry best practices. Supplier Diversity practitioners sought to do business with SD/VOBs but required assurance that the companies were owned and operated by SD/VOBs. NVBDC sought to create a credible certifying agency to address this gap and to meet the needs of corporations by defining the governance for certification standards for SD/VOBs.
NVBDC certification provides the assurance to corporate partners that the veteran suppliers that they intend to contract with have gone through a rigorous vetting process. Corporate partners will be provided access to a database of certified SD/VOBs. The NVBDC will participate in and co-sponsor networking and educational events with our corporate partners. The organization commits to launching a strong outreach campaign to grow its sponsorship to ensure success in finding the best qualified SD/VOBs.
In addition to strategic and target sourcing, the National Veteran Business Development Council strives to develop a best-in-class supplier development and training program to assure our corporate partners have access to a contract-ready pool of SD/VOBs.
