RESCHEDULED: JANUARY 2010
NATIONAL VETERANS' ENTREPRENEURSHIP CONFERENCE NOW SPRING 2010
December 2009
San Francisco, California
Dear
Colleague;
THE
RESCHEDULING OF THE VETERANS' CONFERENCE & LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE TO
JULY 8-9, 2009 IN WASHINGTON D.C. WAS A SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS.
The Conference
produced major legislative actions that erased discriminatory
regulations that had damaged and impeded veteran business
opportunities and success for many years!
However,
these victories have no immediate impact on the dismal state
of veteran business and recent events in the U.S. Congress have been victories for the anti-veteran special interest groups that do not support the participation of Veteran Businesses in Federal and State Government procurements.
Changes in U.S. Federal Laws await the signature of the President
of the United States to be fully implemented.
Meanwhile,
service disabled and veteran owned businesses are failing
and withdrawing from the business marketplace at an increasing
rate.
It is
not responsible leadership for ASDV to increase and further
burden our veteran businesses with the costs of conference subsistence
and travel without extraordinary and compelling reason.
THE
DELAYED CONFERENCE WILL BE MOVED FORWARD
IN ITS ENTIRETY TO MERGE WITH A NaVOBA and TASK FORCE FOR VETERANS ENTREPRENEURSHIP (TFVE), ELITE
NATIONAL AND STATE ALLIANCE CONFERENCES.
This
will permit veteran businesses to experience benefit from
the impending regulatory changes and policies and may also
increase the possibility that our depressed economy will
have experienced some recovery.
ASDV
has received hundreds of communications from exhibitors and
attendees requesting delay of the conference stating their inability to participate in meetings because of lack of funds and business opportunities.
ASDV
will credit and fully honor the very few registrations that
have been received to date to the delayed Conference.
ASDV
has pioneered and waged this effort since 1986 and assures
veterans that we will prevail in our mission to provide
business entrepreneurship opportunities for our nation's
service disabled and veteran owned business community.
|

Sincerely,
John
K. Lopez,
Chairman, ASDV
Senior Advisor,
National Task Force For
Veterans’ Entrepreneurship
Chairman, NaVoba Advisory Councils

NATIONAL
VETERANS’ ENTREPRENUERSHIP CONFERENCE
MARINE'S
MEMORIAL CLUB & HOTEL,
SPRING 2010
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
|
The
Association for Service Disabled Veterans (ASDV) is
the non-profit organization that pioneered the concept
of "ENTREPRENEURSHIP" as a valid goal in
the rehabilitation of disabled in service and prisoner
of war military veterans (SDV). In 1989, ASDV sponsored "pioneering" legislation
that requires that 3% of the total procurement of
State of California Government Agencies, and their
prime contractors, be directed to service disabled
veteran enterprises (SDVE). That legislated policy
was subsequently endorsed by a state constitutional
referendum approved by the State of California Supreme
Court.
ASDV sponsored Public Law 106-50 that legislated a federal
goal of 3% of all federal agency procurement, and that
of their prime contractors, be directed to SDVE. This
legislation also established supporting authority and
institutions to enable the implementation of the P.L.
106-50 legislation. ASDV and Task Force for Veterans
Enterprise (TFVE) also co-sponsored P.L. 108-183 Section
3, unanimously passed by the U.S. Congress and enacted
by the President of the United States, 20 December,
2003. P.L. 108-183 establishes SDVE "SOLE SOURCE" and "RESTRICTED
COMPETITION" for federal procurements, Public
Law 109-461, "The Veterans' Business Promotion
Act of 2006" and the Veterans' sections of the "SBA
Reauthorization Act". ASDV and TFVE drafted the
President's Executive Order 13360 that directed government
action to assist SDVE.
American
Legion Post 236 is a leader in the response by the
California American Legion to the need to provide
various opportunities for America’s Veterans.
