The National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) is proud to announce that Arise Veteran Foundation (Arise), led by Dr. Ryan Rogers, President, and Dr. Kendall Brune, Chairman, has joined the NVBDC’s Military and Veteran Organization (MVO) Task Force. Arise, a nonprofit focused on holistic vocational rehabilitation for disabled veterans and their families, will collaborate with other veteran-focused organizations to improve veteran rehabilitation outcomes and provide critical support for military-connected individuals.
Arise takes a unique, Veteran-Centered approach by focusing on the mind, body, spirit, and kinship to address the vocational rehabilitation needs of veterans affected by PTSD and physical challenges. By partnering with NVBDC, Arise will further its mission to enhance the career prospects and educational opportunities for veterans through personalized support and training programs.
“Our commitment to veterans is rooted in a holistic approach that touches all aspects of their well-being,” said Dr. Brune. “Through our partnership with NVBDC’s MVO Task Force, we aim to create lasting change in the lives of those who have served by improving vocational training, employment opportunities, and rehabilitation outcomes.”
Arise has supported over 75,000 veterans through recreational therapy programs at VA hospitals and has collaborated with organizations such as Southwest Airlines and Tribal Healthcare, along with the USDA agriculture therapy program (WAAR—We Are All Related). These partnerships and initiatives are part of Arise’s ongoing efforts to create a robust network of vocational rehabilitation services for veterans.
“We believe that if we send them, we must mend them,” Dr. Rogers added, referencing the organization’s guiding philosophy. Arise’s focus on healing and empowering veterans aligns perfectly with NVBDC’s mission of supporting veteran-owned businesses and fostering collaboration among veteran-centric organizations.
Through this new partnership, Arise will work alongside NVBDC’s MVO Task Force to enhance resources and services for veterans across the country, including state, regional, and national presentations for healthcare providers that serve the veteran community.
