The Veteran’s Council is a dedicated initiative of the 9th Island Chamber of Commerce & Foundation, supporting military veterans in the business community with tailored resources, networking opportunities, and programs designed for their unique needs.

We foster career growth, entrepreneurship, and community integration for veteran members—honoring their service while creating pathways to leadership, employment, and business success in Southern Nevada. By connecting veterans with mentors, employers, and advocates, the Council ensures those who served continue to lead and thrive in civilian life.
