The symposium will feature a panel discussion with business and civic leaders who have also served in our nation’s military. Veteran support groups will also be in attendance to provide important information and access to veteran resources. Veteran serving and veteran owned businesses, organizations, and advocates are welcome to join us for an evening of support, entrepreneurial learning, discussion, and networking. The SDA is proud to serve those who have so selflessly served our nation and look forward to meeting you on May 9th.
