National Invest in Veterans Week Overview

National Invest in Veterans Week (March 1-7) is a week-long celebration dedicated to honoring and supporting veteran-owned businesses. This initiative, co-founded by Drayton Florence and Jeff Shuford in 2019, spotlights the significant economic and social contributions of veteran entrepreneurs. Veterans, who are twice as likely to start a business compared to non-veterans, leverage their discipline, leadership, and innovation to drive thriving businesses across industries. The week features events like Defense Week, legislative advocacy for the Invest in Veterans Stimulus Act, and community-driven panels supporting veteran entrepreneurship, mental health, and job creation. Join this movement to empower veterans and strengthen the economy. Learn more at Invest in Veterans Week.
