New Professional Networking Site Launched to Support Arizona Veterans
| Source: AZ Veterans Lead
PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - November 11, 2009) - AZ Veterans Lead (AZVL), a non-profit support
network developed by vets for vets, launched its social and professional
networking website www.AZveteransLead.com, today, on Veterans Day. The
website allows veterans from all branches of the military to create and
maintain their own unique profile to network with local business leaders,
professionals and employers across a wide variety of professions, trades
and specialties.
AZVL's mission to provide professional networking opportunities to veterans
is already widely supported in the community, by organizations like
Maricopa Community Colleges and Arizona Department of Veteran Services. "AZ
Veterans Lead is a great resource to the more than 600,000 veterans
throughout the state of Arizona," said Colonel Joey Strickland, director of
the Arizona Department of Veteran Services. "The network not only helps
these vets professionally, but it also allows them to connect with fellow
veterans, and offers practical support with questions about VA claims and
other veteran affairs."
AZVL is the brainchild of Iraq War veteran Colin Day (US Army) and Gulf War
veteran Paul Clark (US Navy), who with help from local internet development
firm Logan Interactive developed www.AZveteransLead.com to provide social
and professional networking opportunities and assist Arizona veterans in
establishing a support network to more easily transition to civilian life.
"By offering direction and support in helping vets get their claims
started, providing a social and professional networking tool for them, as
well as a free career center where they can upload their resumes, we hope
to provide veterans with the tools and skills needed to market themselves
effectively," said Colin Day, co-founder AZVL.
AZVL also provides individuals and businesses an avenue to show their
support for Arizona's veterans through sponsorship opportunities at
different levels. Sponsors will receive a car and/or window sticker to
proudly display their support. "Too often I hear people tell me they'd like
to do something to support veterans but they don't know where to start,"
said AZVL co-founder Paul Clark. "AZVL is a great start. Both Colin and I
are very proud at the launch of this site, and hope the people and
businesses of Arizona will embrace it and help us make it a huge success."
