DETROIT – OCTOBER 12, 2021 – The National Veterans Business Development Council welcomes Virginia-based Veterans Grow America to the Military and Veterans Organization Task Force.

A national movement that helps veteran businesses get the resources and support needed to succeed.
VGA’s partnership with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service provides Veteran and Military spouse small business owners the opportunity to spotlight their products inside AAFES facilities to the Veterans, military, and civilian personnel who shop, live or work at the installation.
“We look forward to our relationship with the NVBDC, through the Task Force, to bring value and new opportunities to our members, and the NVBDC expertise to provide resources to the small businesses we work with at our expos,” stated Donnell Johns, Founder & CEO of Veterans Grow America.
The NVBDC’s Military and Veteran Organization Task Force enables the NVBDC to collaborate resources with task force partners to increase awareness and join together to establish a respected position in the industry supporting Veteran Business success.
“We work with Military and Veteran Service Organizations to identify Veteran business owner members and provide them with information about NVBDC and the importance of certification. At the same time, we are creating reciprocal business relationships that will enhance our values and directives as a Veteran business support agency—creating a win-win opportunity,” commented U.S. Army Lt. Col. (retired) Kathy Poynton, Military & Veteran Organization Task Force Director.
