American Legion Post 236 Co-host
is an "action"
veteran service organization dedicated to the well being of its
members and the good of the military veterans of the United States
of America.
Enterprise
Post 236 has developed several programs and services to
assist and benefit its members and the veterans community of the
nation.
Post 236 emphasizes
two (2) programs in particular; self-employment entrepreneurship and
managed employment by employers.
Both of these initiatives
are featured in the yearly veteran employment and enterprise conference
in San Francisco, California in the fall of each calendar year.
The Association
for Service Disabled Veterans (ASDV) is the non-profit organization
that pioneered the concept of "ENTREPRENEURSHIP" as a valid
goal in the rehabilitation of disabled in service and prisoner of war
military veterans (SDV). In 1989, ASDV sponsored "pioneering" legislation
that requires that 3% of the total procurement of State of California
Government Agencies, and their prime contractors, be directed to service
disabled veteran enterprises (SDVE). That legislated policy was subsequently
endorsed by a state constitutional referendum approved by the State
of California Supreme Court.
ASDV sponsored
Public Law 106-50 that legislated a federal goal of 3% of all federal
agency procurement, and that of their prime contractors, be directed
to SDVE. This legislation also established supporting authority and
institutions to enable the implementation of the P.L. 106-50 legislation.
ASDV and TFVE also co-sponsored P.L. 108-183 Section 3, unanimously
passed by the U.S. Congress and enacted by the President of the United
States, 20 December, 2003. P.L. 108-183 establishes SDVE "SOLE SOURCE" and "RESTRICTED
COMPETITION" for federal procurements. ASDV and TFVE drafted the President's
Executive Order 13360, that directed government action to assist
SDVE.
