During his travels yesterday, WDVA Secretary James Bond stopped by the La Crosse County Veterans Services Expo at the Onalaska Omni Center. He visited with and thanked several veteran organizations that partner with WDVA on behalf of veterans, including Irma Inez Doering from Veterans Business Outreach Centers (VBOC) Senior Director, Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation WWBIC. Last October, WDVA awarded WWBIC with an Entrepreneurship Grant for $100,000 to promote veteran entrepreneurs through Guided Business Planning courses and regional small-group seminars, provides laptops and QuickBooks access, and distributes seed money to select participants upon graduation. Thank you to the @LaCrosseCounty Veteran Office and everyone that participated in the expo and who stand with our Wisconsin veterans! #WisVets #WisVetsWomen #VeteranExpo Picture 1: WWBIC – Veterans Business Outreach Centers (VBOC) Irma Inez Doering, VBOC Senior Director and Secretary Bond.
