The monthly Veteran-Owned Business Networking Meeting is an excellent opportunity for veteran entrepreneurs to connect with other like-minded individuals and gain valuable insights and advice. The first meeting held on March 20th was well attended by veterans from various backgrounds and experiences, making it an ideal place to share challenges, successes, and business strategies. 

The meeting was organized by The Veteran Team at Re/Max Professionals Select, a group dedicated to serving veterans and the community. The team’s founders, Scott and Jennifer Slown, are both veterans and currently serving reservists in the Illinois Army National Guard and Marine Corps Reserve, respectively. Their experience and dedication is evident with their commitment to supporting veterans in our community. 

At the meeting, Lynn Lowder CEO of Veteran Business Project and owner of Rosie’s Home Cookin shared his insights and experience on how to help veterans become successful business owners through mentorship, education, and support. 

If you missed the March 20th meeting, don’t worry! The next meeting will take place on April 17th from 8 am-9 am at the same location, Rosie’s Home Cookin’. All veteran-owned businesses and those veterans interested in starting a business are welcome to attend. It’s a chance to make new connections, share your ideas, and get valuable advice from veterans who have already achieved success. For more information about the meeting, please email Jennifer Slown.
