ORGANIZATION SPOTLIGHT
Southern Nevada Veteran Chamber of Commerce (SNVCC)
Our Mission
The mission of the Southern Nevada Veterans Chamber of Commerce is to serve and advocate for those who courageously served us.
Mission Statement
​
Regarding supporting local business and entrepreneurship development, the SNVCC is focused on organizing regular business and social networking events, entrepreneurship training workshops, fundraising to support local businesses, and other types of support services to our local business community - veteran-owned and veteran-supporter-owned.
We promote increased veteran hiring and career recruiting for corporations seeking to bring on veteran talent into their culture or direct veterans to our ecosystem partners that can assist with their professional development in the community. We are highly committed to developing relationships that can help us grow a stronger ecosystem of veteran resources in our community.
As a result of our efforts, the revenues earned will be directed toward developing a community foundation that not only highlights and promotes the existing veteran resources in our community that are critical for successful military transition, and local veteran and military spouse support; but we want to bring everyone to the same table to collaborate together, and grow a hub of already existing resources that need to be supported through partnership to grow a stable and highly visible ecosystem that shows how strong our veteran community truly can be.
Enhancing the quality of life for veterans in 4 specific areas. We refer to these 4 areas as our Mission Cornerstones:
-
Entrepreneurship
-
Employment
-
Education
-

Merging Vets & Players (MVP)
They wanted to address the challenges that combat veterans and former professional athletes face in transition once the uniform comes off.
