Earlier this month, NMSDC CEO and President Ying McGuire received the National Resource Partner of the Year award from the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC). The award is presented to an individual or organization that has demonstrated significant accomplishment in advocating for veteran-owned businesses as an economic force in the national and global economy. It recognizes individuals and organizations who have achieved significant results in creating diversity, expanding veteran-owned businesses, and that have demonstrated exceptional leadership in the public or private sectors.
CEO and President Ying McGuire was honored to accept the award.
“The National Veteran Business Development Council is an important partner in NMSDC’s work to build a more inclusive and resilient U.S. and global economy that works for everyone. Considering the many sacrifices veterans have made to preserve our country and freedom, I believe it is not only our responsibility, but our duty to help veteran entrepreneurs thrive by increasing their access to capital and other business opportunities,” said NMSDC CEO and President Ying McGuire.
“NMSDC and I are honored to receive the National Resource Partner of the Year Award and look forward to our continued partnership as we embark on the next 50 years of building generational wealth for our nation’s communities of color,” she added.
NVBDC is the original veteran owned business certification organization developed by veterans, for veterans. Its purpose is to provide a credible and reliable certifying authority for all sized businesses ensuring that valid documentation of a veteran’s status, ownership, and operational control exists.
