DETROIT, MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES, April 30, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) is Vets Helping Vets, the only third-party business certifying organization created by vets for vets. When we created NVBDC in 2013, the question that just wouldn’t go away was, would America’s Corporations really hire service-disabled and veteran-owned businesses (SD/VOBs) as their suppliers? We are proud to answer that question with a resounding YES.

We recently reached a milestone of having 100 active corporate members but an interesting factoid: we welcomed additional new corporate members and the numbers keep growing.

NVBDC is proud to welcome Fender as its newest Corporate Member. Fender is committed to supporting NVBDC Certified Service Disabled and Veteran Owned Businesses (SD/VOBs). This includes an ongoing effort to enhance their outreach to secure SD/VOBs in their procurement opportunities.

Fender was founded in Southern California and has established worldwide influence that extends from the studio to the stage—and beyond. Everyone from beginners to the world’s most acclaimed artists have used Fender instruments, amps, and gear, making the company not only a revered industry leader but a cultural symbol that resonates globally. They are celebrating 75 years since founder Leo Fender built his first electric guitar, Fender’s reach transcends instruments and accessories, encompassing a range of innovative digital experiences that fuel musical expression and serve players at every stage. Leo Fender once said that all artists were angels, and it was his, “job to give them wings to fly.” Now, company is proud to carry on his vision–inspiring artists around the world and giving new players the tools that they need to start their musical journey.

“Diversity is the heartbeat of Fender as we accelerate into the future. From the artists who express themselves with our amazing instruments, to our dedicated employees, innovative and hardworking suppliers, we ensure to incorporate creativity and perspectives that reflect the global diversity of our growing customer base.

As a Marine Corps veteran, I know firsthand the contributions and sacrifices that veterans make in service to our country. Fender is excited to partner with NVBDC to connect with veteran-owned companies. Not only will the products and services from veteran owned companies help Fender with growth, quality and financial performance, but more importantly their values are synched with the heartbeat of Fender.” Ed Magee - EVP, Operations and Co-President, Fender Play Foundation (TM).
