NVBDC honors Military and Veteran Service Organizations that have partnered with us to demonstrate a systematic commitment to improving the opportunities for Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned Businesses (SD/VOBs), their families and their communities. The primary role of NVBDC’s Military and Veteran Organization Task Force (MVO Task Force) is to focus on pursuing and achieving tactical and strategic objectives by partnering with organizations having equal goals to help Veteran Businesses.
NVBDC’s MVO Task Force leadership, Keith King, CEO, Brigadier General (ret) Dick Miller and LTC (ret) Kathy Poynton, Director are building the task force to extend the reach and understanding of corporate certification standards for NVBDC programs.
“Our aim is to work with the MSO/VSO’s economic development leaders to identify their Veteran business owner members and provide them with information about NVBDC and the importance of certification, while creating reciprocal business relationships that will enhance our values and directives as a Veteran business support agency.” LTC (ret) Kathy Poynton
NVBDC’s MVO Task Force enables our organization to collaborate resources with our members to increase awareness and join together to establish a respected position in the industry supporting Veteran success in business. We currently have 29 members and 2 honorary members. We are proud to announce our newest member Texas Veterans Chamber of Commerce.

The TxVetCC’s vision is to make the Texas Veteran & Military Spouse Business community stronger, more effective, and to make a greater impact on the lives of both veteran employers and employees in the 21st Century.
The Texas Veterans Chamber of Commerce is devoted to supporting employers who recognize the value of military-affiliated employees and are committed to offering inclusive, empowering workplaces where service members, veterans, and their families can thrive. The mission is the success of Texas’s veterans and military families. When a business has the resources, support, and commitment to empower veterans, service members, and their families, those individuals will succeed.
