Join us for a breakfast format of our Wisdom, Innovation, Networking (WIN) event at The Joy Center celebrating National Small Business Week.
Veteran Voices in Business: Leadership, Resilience, and the Entrepreneurial Journey
We'll engage with an inspiring panel conversation featuring veteran small business owners who have transformed military leadership experience into successful civilian enterprises. During National Small Business Week, these accomplished entrepreneurs will share how service shaped their approach to leadership, innovation, and community impact. Panelists will discuss lessons learned transitioning from military to business ownership, building resilient teams, overcoming challenges, and identifying opportunities for growth. This conversation is designed to offer practical insight, encouragement, and connection for entrepreneurs, business supporters, and community leaders alike.
The session will include the presentation of the 2026 SBA South Dakota Veteran Owned Small Business of the Year Award, recognizing excellence in entrepreneurship.
Celebrating National Small Business Week, SD CEO West and SBA will recognize their hard work, ingenuity, dedication, and their contributions to the economy and panelists will share their journey transitioning from military service to business ownership.
