CSI Co-sponsors Veterans Resource Day

April 8, 2008

The College of Staten Island's Small Business Development Center (SBDC) co-sponsored a Veterans Resource Day on March 18 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Great Kills, Staten Island, the first in a series of outreach programs for veterans. The event's other co-sponsor was Support Our Soldiers, a veterans' advocacy organization on Staten Island.

Initiatives such as these provide a number of resources available for veterans including small business counseling and business plan development, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Veterans programs, educational programs and assistance at CSI, and job opportunities and skill development through the Department of Labor and other key organizations.

Pictured at the event are (L-R): Chet Sadowski, Senior Vice President, New York Business Development Corporation; Frank Dito, SBA Veterans Officer; Darryl Wexler, Veterans Affairs Officer, Department of Labor; Congressman Vito Fossella; and Dean L. Balsamini, Director, SBDC at the College of Staten Island.

The next scheduled event will be a Veterans Job Fair program to be held at CSI on Wednesday, April 23. For further information, please contact the SBDC at 718.982.2560.
