Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce (WVCC)

The Veterans Chamber of Commerce was founded in 2015. Since then, we have grown to be a community of veterans, military family members, and civilians working to support each other. Whether through entrepreneurship, professional development, community service, or simply connecting with other veterans, we're committed to making sure veterans have every opportunity to be successful. We serve veterans and military families by providing resources to support veteran-owned and veteran-friendly businesses across Wisconsin. We are the voice of Wisconsin’s veteran business community, dedicated to improving the business climate for military veterans and their allies. The Veterans Chamber brings together veterans, businesses, and community leaders around business development, workforce development, and community support to ensure the success of Wisconsin veterans. OUR MISSION At a time when there are fewer people serving in the military than ever, and fewer civilians with a direct connection to the military, stereotypes, and stigmas about veterans overshadow the vast majority of veterans who are assets and make contributions by starting businesses, leading in their workplace, and serving their communities. Our organization is dedicated to supporting and giving them the opportunities they've earned. For some, that means starting and owning their own business. For others, it means a quality education and a meaningful, fulfilling career. And for some, it means serving their communities through volunteer or nonprofit work. Our motivation is to highlight this aspect of military veterans' character and empower all veterans to live up to their extraordinarily high potential!
