                        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.


                        **The ARCC understands that supporting our Veteran community is important to our members, for both those who have served and those who have not. While this ARCC event is for Veterans only, if you are not a Veteran but would like to offer your support, sponsorship opportunities for the VBN are available.
