About The Elite SDVOB Network

The Elite SDVOB Network is a volunteer based national membership organization comprised of certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business and Disabled Veteran's Business Enterprises (DVBE's) program participants whose headquarters is located in SanDiego, CA. The Elite SDVOB Network is incorporated as a 501(c)19 organization.

All of the officers of the National Board and state chapters are non-paid volunteers. Every membership fee, corporate sponsorship and donation is dedicated to fulfilling our mission and objectives. We provide education, mentorship, and most importantly a political VOICE for the empowerment of all veteran small business owners. Our efforts target the equitable access of public sector contracting to DVBE and SDVOB, one of the most challenging aspects of the veteran economic issue. The Network is committed to assist the public sector community in improving contract spending with DVBE/SDVOSB, empower disabled veteran business owners and most importantly we are about "Helping Other 'Vets' Help Themselves" ultimately we are about solutions.

The Network is making a difference by bringing these issues to the forefront of public's consciousness. We are constantly working to insure that DVBE/SDVOSB interests are protected; that the veteran community is informed on what the local, state and federal governments are doing for the veteran small business community.
