Legion to assist veterans in New York

American Legion representatives will be on hand to assist veterans at Vets GSA’s NYC Veterans Networking and Resource Event at the New York Downtown Marriott on March 5.

The event aims to recognize the strength and economic viability of veterans in the greater New York area. Roundtable discussions, breakout sessions and access to subject-matter experts from The American Legion are among the event’s features.

“This unique event is specifically designed to provide a multitude of resources for veterans who wish to start businesses in New York City and continue to foster and grow the economic spirit of the ‘vetrepreneur,’" said event co-founder and Legionnaire Scott Davidson, president of Vets GSA, LLC. Davidson is also a member of The American Legion's Small Business Task Force.

Several veterans service organizations, community partners and government agencies will come together to provide resources and counsel on a wide range of business topics to include the proper way to form a legal corporation, small business accounting, and federal and state government business development intelligence. More individualized sessions will focus on other important veteran issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, résumé and cover letter writing, interviewing skills and how to best use the Post 9/11 GI Bill.

The event is free of charge to veterans, VSOs and government agencies. All veterans are encouraged to attend.
