Presidential Appointment

On Friday, President Bush announced his intention to appoint me to the National Veterans Business Development Corporation. The Veterans Corporation Board of Directors includes Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Veterans Administration Secretary James Nicholson, and Adminstrator of the Small Business Administration, Hector V. Barreto.

"The National Veterans Business Development Corporation, doing business as The Veterans Corporation, is a Federally-chartered 501(c)(3) organization that was created by Public Law 106-50, the Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act of 1999. This Act recognized that America "has done too little to assist Veterans.in playing a greater role in the economy of the United States". The Corporation is charged with creating and enhancing entrepreneurial business opportunities for Veterans, including Service-Disabled Veterans. The Board of Directors is appointed by the President of the United States and provides governance over TVC." http://www.veteranscorp.org/

I am thrilled and humbled by my appointment. I intend to be worthy of the honor. To be sure, I also intend to continue my full-time work at RSR REALTORS, selling and appraising real estate.
