“Meet the Utilities and Get DVBE/MBE/WBE Certified!!!”

Certification is one tool that may give your business a competitive advantage amongst companies in the private sector and government agencies seeking to do business with the small business community.  Participating large businesses, utilities, and government agencies have Supplier Diversity Initiatives and Programs, which include ‘outreach’ to DBE/WBE/MBE/DVBE/SB, inclusion of DBE/WBE/MBE/DVBE/SB in their procurement solicitations, and specific goals for DBE/WBE/MBE/DVBE/SB.

Your certification allows organizations to know they are dealing with a genuine DBE/WBE/MBE/DVBE/SB.

This free workshop is designed to encourage and support businesses interested in learning about and obtaining certifications.  Staff will also be available on site for participants that have scheduled a one-on-one meeting to review their certification application.

No cost to attend!

The workshop is limited to no more than 40. RSVP today!

If you have any questions, please let us know. The workshop starts at 9am, so arrive early to check in. This will be a full house event, so register early! If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for the event, please call (760) 468-1315 or email arenteria@swvbrc.org.

A welcoming home for our Troops.

Welcoming home our men and women doesn't end after the crowd disperses, it MUST continue on for the life of the Veteran! They've served us, now we will serve them with programs that work so they reintegrate into society.

We are a national public benefit nonprofit organization that educates American Communities about best practices to serve Veterans.  We honor their service by empowering Veterans to apply their training and skills to successfully transition to productive careers and enterprises.

We provide free vocational training 24/7 to all of our members through our website, in addition to local events.  We believe the tenet that American Communities are the ultimate beneficiaries when Veterans claim their benefits and invest in productive endeavors.

The SWVBRC enlists the support of members of local Communities like you to increase Veteran awareness of the value of obtaining a VA card and receiving earned benefits.

Sponsorships, donations, volunteers and support from communities like yours enable us to reach out to Veterans and empower them to transition back into successful, productive enterprises that ultimately benefit all Americans and support future generations.

SWVBRC is a 501(c)3 non Profit Organization Federal Tax ID# 26-2675027
