Veterans: From Service to Strategy
March 19 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
Free – $17.54Overview
Join the Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce for an evening designed to listen, connect, and build alongside veteran entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners. This Town Hall and networking event provides a platform for veterans, particularly those whose service has been underappreciated, to share their experiences transitioning from military service to business ownership.
Through guided discussion, peer networking, and community dialogue, participants will help shape the development of future veteran-focused entrepreneurship resources and programs. Attendees will gain insight into translating military skills into business strategy, explore pathways to mentorship, capital, and contracting support, and connect with fellow veterans navigating similar journeys.
Whether you’re exploring entrepreneurship, launching a business, or preparing to grow, your voice and perspective matter. This event is about being heard, building community, and defining what comes next together.
Who Should Attend
• Veterans exploring entrepreneurship or business ownership
• Veteran business owners at any stage (idea, startup, growth)
• Veterans seeking equitable access to resources
• Veterans who feel their service or experience has been underrecognized
• Veteran entrepreneurs interested in mentorship, contracting, or capital pathways
• Community partners and organizations supporting veteran and small business development
