DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, November 17, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC) was established to address the growing need to identify and certify both Service Disabled and Veteran Owned Businesses (SD/VOBs) for the commercial marketplace. Our initiatives focus on being the Veteran business certifying authority providing reliable revenue and management information to the business community.

Each year NVBDC Board of Directors and Officers review our corporations' activity, individual corporate members, NVBDC Certified Service Disabled and Veteran Owned Businesses and our resource partners. Recommendations are solicited from all NVBDC team members and submitted to the Board for deliberation and selection. Each award has its own set of standards and criteria that are reviewed to ensure we have an appropriate candidate for the award. The person or company is recognized for merit or achievements well above normal expectations.

The NVBDC awards are announced at the annual NVBDC National Business Matchmaking Conference. Our 5th annual conference was held this year on November 5-6 in a virtual environment due to the pandemic. With over 500 Veterans and Corporations' overwhelming attendance, it was the perfect setting to acknowledge the award recipients.

NVBDC's system works, but it is essential to understand the extra mile of commitment needed for success. As we acknowledge the below recipients, we are proud of all our Certified SD/VOBs and beholden to the support received by all our Corporate Members.

Corporation of the Year Award is presented to the corporation that has demonstrated its continued leadership in building an organization in support of America's Veteran Business Owners. Whose industry leadership is an example to be emulated and respected. The external and internal advocacy supporting NVBDC's certification program and our certified service-disabled and veteran-owned businesses is recognized.

The 2020 Corporation of the Year was awarded to Johnson & Johnson; with their leaders in procurement initiatives Charlene Vickers, Director and John Perez, Head, Military & Veterans Affairs.
“Johnson & Johnson is honored to be named 2020 NVBDC Corporation of the Year, and would like to thank your team for this prestigious award. We are excited and honored.

We also thank our Johnson & Johnson procurement teams, our business partners and our veteran-owned suppliers for enabling us to deliver economic and social impact. That is what our program is about…using our reach and size for good to impact the communities in which we live and work.
Also, we believe that when our supplier base reflects the diversity of our patients and customers who use our products and services, we achieve our mission of helping people live longer, happier, healthier lives.

We are committed to furthering our work together with NVBDC and our industry partners, as we collectively bolster support of veteran owned businesses.” Said,Charlene Vickers, Director, Supplier Diversity and Inclusion, Johnson & Johnson
