VOB108 was founded by a group of visionary Veteran Owned Business owners in Dayton Ohio.
During the March 2012 meeting, a new Commanding Officer, Mike Nichols; Executive Officer, Frank Hickman, II were voted in and during the April 2012 meeting, a new Treasurer, Tania Nakama was voted in. Tania was also appointed as the Administrative Officer.
The decision was made to change the organization’s name to VOBOhio. We are currently working on the new logo, which will be similar to the original.
The original mission was for VOB owners to work together to win government contracts. The group and mission is growing. Our mission has expanded to ensure the success of our veteran owned businesses through education, consultation and mentoring. We are a support and peer-networking group.
We welcome all veterans and especially veteran small business owners. Our organization is one devoted to “building bridges, not walls”, within the private and public business arena. This is done by networking within and outside of VOBOhio. Please join us at one of our lunch meetings or contact any of the members to learn more about us.
VOBOhio meets the second Thursday of every month from 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. unless otherwise announced. We meet at DeVry University- Dayton Center, 3610 Pentagon Blvd., Suite 100, Dayton, OH 45431. The purpose of our meetings is to provide informative speakers, a forum for discussing issues that are important to our members, and a dynamic networking opportunity.
In the interest of respecting everyone’s time, we encourage you to bring your own lunch.
We look forward to seeing you.
On Thursday, the SBA announced Robert Leibecke, CEO of Miamisburg-based E.C. Ruffolo Inc., was named this year’s SBA Veteran Small Business Champion.
Bob is one of the VOBOhio’s founding members.
