Corporate Membership Eligibility

The Veteran Owned Business Roundtable (VOBRT) Corporate Membership program is designed for professionals who represent corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and other organizations committed to supporting veteran-owned businesses.

Corporate Members are selected based on their professional experience, leadership, commitment to the VOBRT mission, and willingness to actively contribute to the veteran business community. Corporate Membership is granted to the individual applicant, not to the employer or organization.

While an employer or organization may sponsor or pay the annual membership dues, membership is assigned to the approved individual member.

Corporate Membership is not transferable to another employee. If an organization wishes to appoint a different representative, that individual must complete a new Corporate Membership Application and be approved by the VOBRT.

Applicants should:

• Represent a corporation, government agency, nonprofit organization, educational institution, or other organization aligned with the VOBRT mission.
• Hold a leadership, management, supplier diversity, procurement, business development, community engagement, government affairs, human resources, or similar professional position. Must hold a Director or VP level position.
• Demonstrate a genuine commitment to supporting veteran-owned businesses and the VOBRT mission.
• Be willing to actively participate in VOBRT programs, committees, educational initiatives, networking events, or mentorship opportunities.
• Uphold the mission, values, and professional standards of the Veteran Owned Business Roundtable.

Membership Expectations

Corporate Membership is intended for individuals who actively engage with the VOBRT community and contribute to its mission of educating, mentoring, and connecting veteran-owned businesses with corporate and government contracting opportunities.

Corporate Members are encouraged to:

• Participate in Corporate Advisory Board meetings.
• Attend networking and educational events.
• Share industry expertise and best practices.
• Support mentorship and educational initiatives.
• Build relationships with veteran-owned businesses.
• Promote collaboration between their organization and the VOBRT.

Business relationships and opportunities often develop through active participation. However, Corporate Membership is intended to foster collaboration, education, mentorship, and strategic engagement. Membership should not be viewed as a guaranteed source of sales opportunities, referrals, procurement opportunities, or business development services provided by the VOBRT.

Application & Approval Process

All Corporate Membership applications are individually reviewed by the Veteran Owned Business Roundtable.

Applications are evaluated based on the applicant’s professional experience, leadership, alignment with the VOBRT mission, and potential contribution to the organization.

Submission of an application does not guarantee membership. The VOBRT reserves the right to approve or decline applications based on its membership criteria and organizational needs.
