Members
Who can Join?
The SDVOB exists to serve the cause of veterans in general, with a focus on
service-disabled vets. To this end, the organization encompasses a broad range
of members:
Veteran-Owned Businesses (Members)
If you are a Veteran (service-disabled
or otherwise) and either now own or if you're thinking about starting your own
business, join the SDVOB-AZ and take advantage of the networking, referrals,
events, and marketing opportunities that are available only to our members.
Non-Veteran-Owned Businesses (Associate Members)
Don't feel locked out if you're an
individual or a company without the qualifications to be a certified as a SDVOB.
The Elite SDVOB accepts a limited number of associate members to help strengthen
the organization's network and achieve the goals we have set.
Corporations, LLC's, and Non-Profits
If you're a corporation, LLC, or even a
non-profit, joining the SDVOB-AZ gives you full access to a directory of highly
qualified SDVOB's ready to bid your project and go to work. As a corporate
member, your annual dues may be tax deductible.
The SDVOB-AZ is an important gateway for government and corporate agency heads
and contractors looking to locate qualified service-disabled veteran businesses
for Federally-funded contracting and subcontracting projects.
Executive Order 13360, signed in 2004, establishes a goal of no less than 3
percent participation by service-disabled veteran businesses in Federal
contracts. If your company has been awarded a Federal contract, we can help you
comply with Order 13360. If you're a corporation looking for qualified
businesses to participate in your supply chain, we want you to think "V2B", or
Veteran-to-Business to fill this need.
SDVOB's are run by veterans who protected our freedoms. They do not seek
contracts out of an entitlement mentality, but rather because their businesses
are as qualified as any other -- often more so -- and they deserve that respect
and recognition.
