October 2023 – ISS continues its support of the Veteran Institute for Procurement (VIP) through sponsorship of the Golf Tournament Fundraiser, and has done so since 2014. This year, our Director of Operations, Ms. Lisa Clem, received acknowledgement for being closest to the pin on one of the two designated holes of the course.
VIP is the nation’s first-ever program to train veteran owned small business owners to succeed in the federal contracting market, and it is accomplished free of charge to the veterans. Veterans come from all over the United States and its territories to attended this 3-day, 27-hour comprehensive program to increase veteran business ability to win and perform on government contracts. As this program has evolved over the years, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has become one of the program’s major sponsors. ISS is a 2010 graduate of the program, and our CEO serves on the Board of the Montgomery County Chamber Community Foundation, which oversees the VIP program.
We are proud to help Veteran-Owned Small Businesses succeed in the federal marketplace. Veteran business leaders can engage, learn and grow through the Veteran Institute for Procurement (VIP) program. Best of all, there is no cost to the Veteran business for this opportunity.
