The Roundtable was formed in 2005 in response to State of Michigan legislation establishing a goal of 3% of state contracts to be awarded to Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business. The Roundtable has stood on guard to monitor compliance with that promise of (now 5%) state contracting with SDVOB. Having enlarged our mission today, however, the Roundtable serves ALL veteran owned businesses and their advocacy has succeeded in persuading large, private corporations to pledge similar goals for inclusion of VOB in existing supplier diversity initiatives. - from http://veteranroundtable.org/about/about-us/
