Hearing:
Military to Main Street:
Serving Veteran Entrepreneurship
Committee on Small Business
Wednesday, June 8, 2022 (10:00 AM)
2360 RHOB
Washington, D.C.
The Committee on Small Business will hold a hybrid hearing titled: “Military to Main Street:
Serving Veteran Entrepreneurship.” The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10:00 A.M. on
Wednesday, June 8, 2022 in Room 2360 of the Rayburn House Office Building. Participating
members can also join remotely via Zoom.
Veterans often gain skills such as discipline, work ethic, and leadership throughout their military
service that naturally translate to successful entrepreneurship and small business ownership.
However, transitioning from military service to civilian life presents unique challenges for aspiring
entrepreneurs. The purpose of the hearing will be to discuss the role of veteran entrepreneurs in
the economy and how the Small Business Administration (SBA) supports their transition to
civilian life.
