Veteran’s Affairs Council

The Mission

To establish the Exton Region as a premier community for veteran-owned businesses and military-connected professionals to thrive through collaborative growth, mutual support, and regional recognition.

The Veterans Affairs Council (VAC) serves to honor, support, and connect the military-connected community within the Exton region. We bridge the gap between military service and business success by providing networking opportunities, advocacy for veteran-owned businesses, and high-impact community stewardship.
