  • Armed Forces Chamber recognized as veteran friendly by Nevada Department of Veteran Services

Las Vegas, Nevada Jan 21, 2019 (Issuewire.com)  - The Armed Forces Chamber of Commerce has been officially designated as veteran friendly. Evan Rush, Outreach Director of Nevada Department of Veteran Services (NDVS) presented a Patriot Employer Program Certificate signed by the Nevada Governor, to Andre’ Haynes, Founder and President of the Armed Forces Chamber of Commerce during a special program in Henderson, Nevada. The Patriot Employer Program provides a business with education and support to help fill the team with employees who’ve already proven to be successful. The program shows businesses where to find veterans, how to retain them, the tax credits available and other benefits to hiring men and women who have served the country. Veterans possess outstanding leadership and technical skills that make them an asset to any organization. Engaging this key talent pool benefits a company in measurable ways.

“We are very grateful that the Armed Forces Chamber has been recognized as veteran-friendly,” remarked Andre’ Haynes, Founder, and President of the Armed Forces Chamber of Commerce. “Every business should consider participating in the Patriot Employer Program. Furthermore, the Armed Forces Chamber of Commerce looks forward to continuing to serve its members and especially the entire Armed Forces community.”
