With profound respect, the staff of U.S. Veterans Magazine joins the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC) and the broader veteran community in honoring the life and legacy of NVBDC Founder and CEO, Keith King, a trusted partner for over 20 years and a steadfast advocate for veterans.
King was a visionary leader whose life’s work was defined by service—both in uniform and beyond it. A decorated Vietnam veteran and a 40-year veteran advocate, he helped countless service members successfully transition from military to civilian life.
King founded the NVBDC as the nation’s first credible, corporate-accepted certification program for Service-Disabled and Veteran-Owned Businesses. Certification is a rigorous process that verifies that a business is owned, operated and controlled by a U.S. military veteran or a service-disabled veteran, granting them access to lucrative corporate and government supplier programs.
For more than two decades, King partnered closely with U.S. Veterans Magazine to expand awareness, access and opportunity for veteran entrepreneurs nationwide.
Through this longstanding collaboration, King helped elevate the visibility of veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses by connecting them with corporate leaders, supplier executives and strategic resources. His partnership with U.S. Veterans Magazine amplified NVBDC’s mission, highlighted success stories and ensured that veteran entrepreneurs were recognized as competitive, capable contributors to the national economy.
