🎉 Join us for the Veteran Owned Business Roundtable's 11th Annual Scholarship Golf Outing 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️, proudly presented by Stellantis, on August 19, 2024! This year, we're thrilled to bring back our Networking Mixer for its second year, enhancing your experience alongside the golfing fun at the stunning Grosse Ile Golf & Country Club and West Shore Golf & Country Club in Michigan.

Start your day with a continental breakfast at 7:30 AM, followed by a warm welcome from Stellantis and a shotgun start at 8:30 AM. Enjoy a day filled with golf, refreshments, and friendly contests. Then, at 1:30 PM, join us for our Networking Mixer, now in its second year, offering a prime opportunity for veterans, corporate sponsors, and stakeholders to connect and explore business opportunities.

Following the Mixer, we'll gather for an awards banquet and dinner, where we honor our golfing champions, scholarship winners, and the collective efforts of the VOBRT community. Last year we collected over $20,000 from our corporate sponsors, and we anticipate another successful year!

Registration is now open. Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today. We have set aside tickets for those interested in the Networking Mixer only. All proceeds will go toward supporting student veterans and their families through scholarships and other educational opportunities. We thank Stellantis for their generous support as our presenting sponsor.

LISTEN TO WHAT OUR PREVIOUS GOLFERS HAVE TO SAY Dave Christie, CEO of CMAC Transportation, VOBRT’s Golf Committee Chair, and golfers who have attended our Annual Golf Outing share their experiences. This year, we can't wait to hear what you have to say about our new Networking Mixer!

Organized by

The Veteran Owned Business Roundtable is dedicated to “Serving those who have Served” by helping Veteran Owned Businesses (VOB) and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses (SDVOB) succeed. Our efforts are dedicated to the benefit of all Veteran Owned businesses.

The Roundtable was formed in 2005 in response to State of Michigan legislation establishing a goal of 3% of state contracts to be awarded to Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business. The Roundtable is standing guard to monitor compliance with that promise of state contracting ( now 5%) with SDVOB. Having enlarged our mission today, however, the Roundtable serves ALL veteran owned businesses and our advocacy has succeeded in persuading large, private corporations to pledge similar goals for inclusion of VOB in existing supplier diversity initiatives.
