Veterans Business Network May 2022 Meeting

Description

Join us for our ARCC Veterans Business Network  Meeting to engage with our VBN leaders and Veteran members for a casual gathering exclusively for Veterans to connect, collaborate and to receive valuable information on Veteran resources. 

 

The VBN will welcome special guest speaker Bob Nevins of Alliance180. Alliance180 is a peer-to-peer, purpose-driven program that aims to prevent suicide for fellow Veterans, First Responders and Frontline Healthcare workers facing the effects of trauma through a transformative equine experience. 



About Bob Nevins- Bob was one of the pilots on the helicopter that night in Vietnam in 1970, and he and his crew were forever changed. He deeply understands the lasting effects of trauma that can be triggered in the face of battle, and he’s spent a lifetime dedicated to helping the fight. Determined to find a new direction for fellow Veterans, First Responders and Frontline Healthcare Workers facing trauma, he was inspired to create Alliance180.
 




**Veterans in attendance will have a chance to win a GRUNT STYLE goody bag!!! 

This is a FREE event exclusively for Veterans Only who are also ARCC Members or who are employed by an ARCC member in good standing.
If you are not a Veteran but are interested in supporting the VBN, please contact the ARCC VBN Liaison, Carol Ann Conover, at 518-798-1761.



About the Veterans Business Network:
The purpose of the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Veterans Business Network is to promote and to serve the affinity group of Veteran and military service personnel,  veteran and military member sole proprietorships, and veteran and military service professional members of the ARCC and to encourage increased business and collaboration among its ranks.
 
By promoting the ARCC’s four pillars of advocacy, education, connection and collaboration, we will have the ability to attract more veterans and military professionals to the ARCC with an intent to develop and track metrics that can be used by the ARCC to promote its support for veterans military service members in business, to support in collaboration the educational and mental health outreach and mission of other local veteran business communities, specifically, neighboring chambers, and to develop mentoring, educational and entrepreneurial opportunities for veterans and military service members while fostering growth opportunities with a focus on performance (revenue growth, employee growth, etc.) of service member-owned enterprises, military-owned sole proprietorships, and post-military professionals in the ARCC service area.
