Justin and I created this group to provide full resource expos and events for Veterans, Spouses and Caregivers and although we have just begun we are excited about the support and events we have planned for the coming months. Thank you all for your support and God Bless the United States Military, all that have served, and the United States of America. We will make a difference together. -- with Scott Davidson, Matthew Modine and Justin Constantine

SPRINGFIELD, Va., Feb. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Veteran Success Resource Group (VSRG) is excited to announce our upcoming Veteran Resource Expo and Access to Capital event in Springfield, VA on March 23, 2016 at the American Legion Post. The only organization of its kind, the VSRG brings to local Veteran communities a wide array of medium and large businesses, universities, government agencies and Veteran service organizations, all of which provide services or employment opportunities for Veterans and their families. We have learned that many Veterans struggle to connect with all of the resources in their local communities; the VSRG combats this issue by bringing together all of the resources necessary for personal and professional success.

The biggest challenge facing Veterans and military families is not a lack of resources, but a lack of collaboration, coordination and follow-through. Utilizing a proof of concept that has already demonstrated success, Veteran entrepreneurs Scott Davidson and Justin Constantine provide highly-interactive and full-spectrum Veteran resource expo events that are free of charge to Veterans, family members and caregivers.

Dun & Bradstreet's Access to Capital Lender Matchmaking: VSRG is excited to partner with Dun & Bradstreet for this great event. D&B will host an Access to Capital session, bringing together Veteran Entrepreneurs with an array of small business lenders. The breakout session will begin with a panel of industry experts, followed by a spotlight presentation on the basics of business credit by Dun & Bradstreet. We will conclude with an opportunity for attendees to sit down with over 20 traditional and alternative small business lending institutions. Attendees will also have access to their free Dun & Bradstreet credit report to take with them during the 1:1 lender meetings. Details for this program are on the registration site.
