Veteran Employment Committees assist the EDD Job Service Vet Rep staff in providing some work related expenses for job seeking vets. The VEC's are comprised of veterans and military supporters who volunteer their time and talents to help our vets get a job by organizing and presenting Job Fairs.

VHVtv is produced by the Veterans Employment Committee of San Mateo.  www.vecsamnet.org.

VHVtv attended the National Launch of "Vet Cap" at the ViT in San Francisco on May 14. The Vets in Tech is a wonderful organization that encourages veterans to become business entrepreneurs.  Here I am with co producer (R) Jesse Austin.

VHVtv has been a member since the beginning. From one of the first meetings of ViT, at the Adobe in SF,  here is  (L) to (R) Helen Wong, co- producer VHVtv, Joanne Martinez, Sheryl Shaffer and Dottie Guy.

We have created a new channel on Vimeo and here is the link  https://vimeo.com/veteranshelpingveterans

For our first videos we are uploading to Vimeo, we are introducing all interviews, as separate segments from the U.S. VETS interviews we filmed at March A.R.B. in Riverside during April 2013.  These are award winning interviews and we want to share them with you.

With (R) Erica Gomez, M.S.W., the Clinical Director at U.S. VETS - Riverside.

During January, I was part of the V WISE program in Long Beach.  V WISE means Veteran Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship.  It is the encouragement from ViT and V WISE that has convinced us that VHVtv can be turned into a business and we are making that transition.

It is not an easy process to start a business.  Our first step on this journey was when we were invited by Jim Wong and Jim Fitzgerald, Founders of the Acumen Academy, to attend their Small Business Start Up seminar sponsored by State Farm in San Diego in October 2013.  This compelled us to start writing our Business Plan.  This was great preparation and helped with completing the online course that is required before you can attend the V WISE.  http://whitman.syr.edu/VWise/

V-WISE was a great learning experience and further reinforced the belief that we can turn our concept of VHVtv into a business.  It is a work in progress.

We are grateful and Special Thank You to the AMVETS CA Women Veterans Committee for your sponsorship of the U.S. VETS Interviews and the C.D.V.A. Women Veterans Leadership Conference, San Diego 2013.  18 Veteran Leaders playlist.
