NVBDC’s National Veteran Matchmaking Conference on November 9th and 10th went off without a hitch and with full attendance. NVBDC is grateful to everyone that participated and celebrated Veteran-owned Businesses. NVBDC’s National Veteran Matchmaking Conference 2022 aims to bring together Supplier Diversity professionals and Veteran businesses in a face-face environment to provide procurement opportunities, develop business relationships, and educational opportunities.
Weeks ago, NVBDC held Award nominations for various categories and were open for anyone to submit whom they thought were deserving of the award. Those award nominations were generated and announced at NVBDC’s National Veteran Matchmaking Conference.
Jason Trimiew, Director of Global Supplier Diversity for Meta, won “Presidents Award 2022”. The award was accepted live during the awards ceremony.
PRESIDENTS AWARD:
The President and CEO review the activity of our corporations, individual corporate members, our certified veterans, and our resource partners. Recommendations are solicited from all NVBDC team members and submitted to the President and CEO for their deliberation and selection. Each awardee has exceeded a set of standards and criteria well above normal expectations.
This award is at the discretion of the President and CEO and may be given multiple times. The set of standards and criteria are reviewed yearly to ensure that we have an appropriate candidate for each award.
“Join us in giving a warm round of applause to the 2022 NVBDC President’s Award winner, Jason Trimiew!”
The President’s Award is given to an individual who has been recommended to the President and CEO by NVBDC team members for exceeding a set of standards and criteria well above normal expectations.
“Diversity is a business priority for Meta, of which supplier diversity is a key component. We believe that there is immense opportunity in incorporating more diverse-owned businesses — like those owned by veterans — into our supply chain,” said Jason Trimiew, Director of Global Supplier Diversity at Meta. “Thank you to our partners at NVBDC for the prestigious President’s Award. We look forward to continued collaboration with NVBDC as Meta executes our ‘beyond’ vision of transforming how diverse suppliers are able to do business to uncover even more economic opportunity.”
NVBDC’s National Veteran Matchmaking Conference focuses on celebrating and honoring veterans. The Conference featured 1:1 Matchmaking, expert panelists from supplier diversity professionals, Vets-Night Out, and the celebration of the Marines’ 247th Birthday with a Luncheon.
