What we're about

The VBC vision is a monthly rotation of gatherings with fellow active, retired, and reserve veterans at different locations across the Sacramento area in a relaxed environment. The VBC purpose is three-fold: First, assist transitioning service members through networking, discussions of important events, and personally introducing them to industry leaders across the region. The VBC believes that supporting, vetting, and assisting influential organizations that legitimately help veterans as this will also help the entire Sacramento community. Second, translate our military service into community service, ensuring we transition our leadership skills into non-profit, volunteer, and civil service organizations. Lastly, continue our sense of camaraderie and ensure there is a safety net of resources for veterans.

Who We Are1. The culture VBC seeks is a relaxed, informal veteran-networking environment2. Provide a venue for honest dialogue, feedback, and endorsement of those organizations who truly follow through on their promise to “help or hire” veterans3. Serve transitioning veterans by providing and endorsing quality upcoming events; and those to avoid4. Guarantee a strict policy of ensuring our membership is not publicized, monetized, or used for profit

Who We Are Not1. A bunch of foul-mouthed alcoholics who need an excuse to get “hammered”2. A “look at me” networking organization3. A forum for hiring agencies to elbow in and make it uncomfortable for transitioning veterans

Typical Gathering Agenda1. Get a beer or other beverage2. Take a pic3. Make a toast4. Network
