Business Support

 

VIBF members are a great source of information and experiences. Established companies share experiences and insight. New businesses or those with challenges get help with the Advice Roundtable.

Veteran Business and Networking/Outreach

 

We work with other veteran groups and organizations to network and outreach with NBDC (Nebraska Business Development Center), PTAC (Procurement Technical Assistance Center), SBA (Small Business Administration), SCORE, contracting officers and meet-the-buyer events.

 

VIBF encourages collaboration through networking.  Each month, members can bring up issues and concerns to discuss with the group to get recommendations to help come up with effective solutions.
