10. VetFran: discounted franchising support through International Franchise Association franchisors; more than 1,000 veterans have taken advantage of this program since 2002.
11. Trending reports: This is really good stuff. We are fierce in searching for numbers to trend. So far, we’ve published trend lines for Federal agencies’ SDVOSB achievements since Fiscal Year 2001. We’re hoping to get similar trend charts done for subcontracting achievements. We also do other work like monitor the growth of businesses over time. Sometimes, we scratch our heads and try to make sense of it all. Most of the time, we simply say “Aha! Look at that!”
12. Awards and Recognition Programs: OK, forget everything that came before this. We really, really, like the awards program. We host this each year in June, on or around Flag Day. We honor Enterprising Veterans who exemplify the motto: Veterans in Business - Still Serving America! We celebrate the work of the advocates selected as Champions of Veterans Enterprise. While it may not be a big to-do by other award program standards, these ceremonies are very special to us.
13. Our Briefing Materials: We have a great DVD library that explains our program. We have some really fantastic posters. We make these available at no charge to offices that want to visually display their support for veterans in business. We have some very professional Executive brochures and a nice product catalog that offers a lot of detail on our offerings. In addition, and these, too, are more favorites – we will customize a Then and Now poster for business owners (give us a photo of the owner in military uniform and a second photo as the business owner today), we will put the owner’s name and business name on it for posting at the company’s headquarters. This also works for contracting teams who make awards to these owners. Another offering for owners is the 3-minute video clip they can post to our database.
