Thanks for joining us at the State of Veteran Business! Our speaker and panelists did an excellent job covering the advantages of hiring veteran talent, the obstacles veterans face upon exiting the military, and the efforts local businesses and municipalities can make to ease the transition of our service members into employment.
Thank you to Duke Energy for being our series presenting sponsor, and helping us bring programs like these to the community. Thank you McGough for being the presenting sponsor of today's event, and thank you to the CCOC's Veterans Outreach Council for helping us execute such a valuable program.
Finally, thank you to our keynote speaker Dr. Michael Sims, and our panelists Dana Wooten, Randy Silver, Robert Weaver, and Mitch Valenza for helping us discuss the culture of veteran business in Johnston County.
