Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, events will take place virtually. The goal of NVSBW remains the same – to raise awareness of veteran small business ownership and encourage communities to support their veteran- and military-owned businesses. This year, we will focus on celebrating the strength and resilience of the veteran and military small business community as they continue to adapt, pivot, and overcome the economic hardships from the last 18 months. VBOC of the Pacific is funded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
