Military and Veterans Affairs Committee

The Lake Nona Chamber of Commerce Military and Veterans Affairs Committee (MVAC) is dedicated to forging connections between the business community and our esteemed military community by providing unwavering support, advocacy, and recognition for those who have served in the armed forces. Our primary mission is to be a vital link between the military and civilian sectors, facilitating smooth transitions and integration for veterans launching businesses in the region or entering the workforce. In addition, the MVAC acts as an intermediary between local businesses and military organizations to foster collaborations that advance veteran entrepreneurship, employment, and civic engagement to enhance the economic and social landscape of Lake Nona.  Through diverse initiatives, programs, and events, we empower veterans with the tools, mentorship, and networking opportunities essential for their success beyond their service.  

MVAC members are committed to nurturing an environment that sustains a flourishing military presence and enhances the quality of life for service members and their families by cultivating a robust network of resources and opportunities tailored to military personnel, veterans, and their families within the Lake Nona community.

1. Foster a collaborative environment for Veteran Entrepreneurship 

2. Strengthening relationships between military service members and civilian business community

3. Coordinating community resources to support local military missions

4. Spearheading initiatives that honor the service of our military members and their families
