Caffeine Connect - SBA talks veteran-owned certifications, programs and services

Starting on Jan. 1, self-certification of service-disabled veteran owned small businesses is ending and all veteran-owned certifications will transfer from the VA to the Small Business Administration’s Center of Verification and Evaluation. Join the Patriot Boot Camp community as Larry Stubblefield, the Associate Administrator for the Office of Veterans Business Development at the SBA, will discuss this change and the other initiatives and services SBA provides veterans. A retired mustang colonel with 30 years of service in the Army, Larry oversees his office’s efforts to develop and implement policies that equip veterans, service members and military spouse entrepreneurs with counseling and education, access to capital, and contracting opportunities.
