Collinwood Earns Certified Veteran's Business Enterprise™ Designation from the National Veteran Owned Business Association (NaVOBA)

CHICAGO - Amzeal -- Collinwood proudly announces that it has earned the exclusive designation as a Certified Veteran's Business Enterprise™ (VBE) from the National Veteran-Owned Business Association. To be eligible for the designation as NaVOBA Certified VBE™, the applicant firm must be at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by one or more U.S. military veterans. At its core, VBE certification protects veteran-owned businesses and the corporations and organizations that do business with them.

Collinwood is honored to earn the VBE certification because it demonstrates that we can help our clients build a diverse and inclusive workforce, attract and retain top talent, and give back to the community. We are proud to support the veteran community.

NaVOBA's VBE Certification ensures the firms that receive contracts truly deserve the opportunity. Heather Herndon-Wright, Director of Supply Chain Diversity for Dallas-based Vistra Energy and a NaVOBA Board Director, said verification and validation of the ownership, control and management of suppliers participating in the company's supplier diversity initiatives is critical to the integrity of Vistra's efforts.

"NaVOBA's certification ensures we are utilizing and developing companies that are truly owned, controlled and managed by the veterans we are endeavoring to support, and not front companies for non-qualified individuals or businesses," Wright said.

"People can easily say 'I'm a veteran-owned business' when they aren't," NaVOBA President Matthew Pavelek said. "Corporations will not risk the accuracy of their Supplier Diversity spending goals by recording spend on contracts with firms that say veterans own them if they aren't certain of the ownership, operation and control of that firm. Working with a third-party nonprofit organization like NaVOBA and its VBE certification program provides that certainty."
