The Roundtable is standing guard to monitor compliance with that promise of state contracting ( now 5%) with SDVOB. Having enlarged our mission today, however, the Roundtable serves ALL veteran owned businesses and our advocacy has succeeded in persuading large, private corporations to pledge similar goals for inclusion of VOB in existing supplier diversity initiatives." } ] } ] ```
