NGA-VT Corporate Guidelines

The National Guard Association of Vermont's (NGA-VT) Corporate Membership program is designed to build effective communications between the Association, the State of Vermont Department of Economic Development and the local business community.

The goal of building the corporate relationship is to enhance the readiness of the Vermont National Guard by supporting and assisting businesses in understanding the needs of the Vermont National Guard and how their business can help fulfill the needs and mission of the Vermont National Guard. In addition, NGA-VT has the ability to assist businesses with a network of associations throughout the country. Through this network we have the opportunity to enhancing their product or service to not only benefit Green Mountain Boys but Guard members nationwide.

We also assist businesses in understanding the NGAUS resolution process. Each legislative session, NGAUS asks for state and industry input to assist in identifying and forming state/industry partnership teams as it prepares its legislative priorities each year. The corporate relationship build with NGA-VT will work together to submit the legislative priorities that Vermont had deemed important for continued success of our missions.

To date, members of our National Guard, on their own free time, have agreed to assist Vermont companies in their efforts to attract Department of Defense contracts. Those efforts include:

• Reviewing their products and their particular applications in the field
• Arranging for field testing of products
• Assisted with their sales and marketing to the National Guard throughout the US

We now have developed a Corporate Advisory Panel and through this panel we have developed our mission and vision statements.
