2019 Military, Veteran & Military Spouse Entrepreneur Freedom Summit II

American River College 4700 College Oak Drive, Sacramento, CA 95841 Saturday, June 15th, 2019            8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Three nonprofit Veteran Service Organizations – Veteran Launch, The Rosie Network and the National Veterans Transition Services, Inc. (aka REBOOT) – are bringing together business experts to support veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs in starting or expanding their businesses. American River College will host the event at the Student Center.

“Veterans own 9% of all businesses in the U.S., generating $1.22 trillion in annual revenue,” reports Air Force veteran Mike McGrane, Senior Vice President and NorCal Lending Officer at Veteran Launch, “but military discipline and work ethic are only the foundation for success.” The Summit is designed to help veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs work on the three key components to grow a successful business: 1) practical entrepreneurship training, 2) access to capital and 3) finding good mentors.

In addition to panel discussions on how to market one’s company and accessing capital, attendees at the 2019 Freedom Summit can hear experts discuss:

Advertising & Marketing using Social Media and SEO

Legal, Taxes, Accounting, Bookkeeping

Human Resources & using a Professional Employment Organization

Franchising

Buying or selling a business, Business Valuation

Business Plans 101/ Pitching your business

Food and Beverage Industry

DVBE Certification & doing business with the government

This event will end with a pitch competition, with a $5,000 grand prize sponsored by Union Bank. Other key event sponsors include Main Street Launch, SBA, Department of General Services (DGS), Addastaff, Evolution, and House to Home. Active duty personnel attend for free, while veterans and military spouses pay $25. There is no fee to enter the pitch competition, but competitors must be registered attendees.

One of the joys (or sorrows, depending on your perspective) of being from Iowa is the seemingly constant presence of presidential candidates. Recently, Steve King, the congressman with the strange obsession with cantaloupe-calves, hosted something called the "Freedom Summit." Among the speakers was former Alaskan governor, former vice-presidential candidate, former Wasilla, AK mayor, and current... something... Sarah Palin.

The rambling nature of the speech has been attributed to the teleprompter malfunctioning. It's true, a lot of people would stumble in this situation. But most people have not mocked the president and his use of a teleprompter the way Palin has...

It should be noted that Palin's difficulty with speaking of the cuff is nothing new. Jon Stewart had referred to her speaking as word salad years ago. But for whatever reason, this is now news. It would be easy to isolate certain parts of the speech and point out the various oddities. But it's really better to just see it.
