The National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) has long been recognized as the gold standard in certifying veteran-owned businesses. But certification is only the beginning. NVBDC’s broader mission is to ensure veteran entrepreneurs have the resources, relationships, and strategic access needed to grow, compete, and thrive—both domestically and on the global stage.
That mission takes center stage on February 5, when NVBDC hosts its next Services Webinar as part of the ongoing Resource Webinar Series, featuring a globally focused partner with deep international reach: Global Chamber .
Moving Beyond Certification
For many veteran-owned businesses, earning certification answers the question of credibility. What comes next is more complex: How do I scale? Where do new markets come from? Who can help me navigate opportunities beyond U.S. borders?
The NVBDC Resource Webinar Series was designed to meet veteran business owners at this critical inflection point. Rather than sales-driven presentations, these webinars focus on education, access, and practical guidance, connecting veterans directly with organizations that can help them move from certification to execution .
A Global Perspective with Global Chamber®
Global Chamber® is a global business platform spanning 605+ chapters across 195 countries, built for growth-oriented organizations, leaders, and future leaders seeking to expand beyond borders with confidence. Its mission is to make cross-regional success more intentional, trusted, simple, and satisfying.
Global Chamber adds value by creating warm, strategic connections to targeted clients, investors, partners, and resources around the world—reducing friction and uncertainty in international business. Its vision is to make exporting, importing, investing, and doing business across regions as easy as doing business across the street.
For veteran-owned businesses—many of which already bring operational discipline, leadership under pressure, and mission-driven execution—global expansion can be a natural next step. The challenge is understanding where to begin and how to move forward responsibly. This webinar will demystify that journey by showing how Global Chamber helps businesses move from interest to action through trusted global connections .
What the February 5 Webinar Will Deliver
Participants in the February 5 Resource Webinar will gain actionable insight into what global growth really looks like for veteran-owned businesses. Topics will include an overview of Global Chamber’s services and international network, how veteran-owned firms can prepare for global opportunities, and how NVBDC-certified businesses can leverage partnerships beyond the United States.
Attendees will also hear practical examples of how companies engage with global chambers and trade ecosystems, along with clear next steps for veterans interested in exporting, forming international partnerships, or sourcing globally. Importantly, this session is not a sales pitch—it is a resource-driven conversation built around readiness, access, and long-term opportunity .
Who Should Attend
The webinar is designed for a broad cross-section of the NVBDC ecosystem, including:
- NVBDC-certified veteran-owned businesses
- Veteran entrepreneurs exploring growth beyond domestic markets
- Corporate members seeking globally capable veteran suppliers
- Veteran business owners looking to diversify revenue and partnerships
Whether a business is actively pursuing international expansion or simply wants to understand what global opportunities may exist in the future, this session will provide clarity and direction .
NVBDC’s Ongoing Commitment
The Resource Webinar Series reflects NVBDC’s commitment to ensuring veteran-owned businesses are not only recognized, but fully supported throughout their growth journey.
