Pedene says it’s all about ensuring fellow veterans can form connections.
“They can see what it’s like and listen to the stories,” explains Pedene. “Because you’ll have an opportunity to network with other veteran-owned businesses or employee groups, and you’ll learn and see, and you might get some advice that maybe you hadn’t gotten before, or maybe a new connection. In the business of business, it’s all about the connectivity.”
