OUR PURPOSEConnecting those that employ and support veterans.OUR VISIONVeterans and their families thrive in the Sacramento region and beyond.OUR MISSIONTo connect employers with a passion to support veterans by facilitating community collaboration.OUR STORYOne day during normal business, a local CEO, while having lunch with one of his customer's internal Veteran Employee Resource Group (ERG)*, employees expressed interest in hearing what other companies were doing to support their veteran employees.After a few more meetings with other companies, it was evident a need existed to collaborate and network with other companies in the region to share solutions to help our veteran community. As a result, a small grassroots group of the Sacramento VERG (Veterans Employer Resource Group) was born. Those early and passionate members led by DVBE Connect were from Blue Shield of CA, Intel, Sutter Health, and Virtusa.After some time, in early 2020, VERG, a volunteer-led organization, was able to take things to the next level by adding new leadership; setting new short and long-term organizational goals; creating infrastructure; engaging generous sponsors, more member organizations and volunteers; supporting collaborative community service projects; and filing to become a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation – which became official mid-year 2021.What started as a concept literally drafted on a bar napkin has evolved into an organization that has a positive impact on both employers and the lives of veterans working and living in the Sacramento region. *A veteran ERG provides veterans, employed within a company, a dedicated internal community to share the experience of transitioning to corporate life, while also building a sense of camaraderie and mentorship. Internal groups may have different names such as VERG (Veterans Employee Resource Group) or Veterans BRG (Business Resource Group).
