Oxford, Maryland ……March 26, 2010

The Veterans Corporation (“TVC”), through its Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB”) affiliate, NEOF Technologies, Inc, (“NEOF”) has just been awarded a contract to develop and market the first in a series of Veteran sponsored call centers.  The contract will enable TVC to now reach self-sufficiency as required under its authorizing legislation, Public Law 106-50. Collaborating with the Azteca Economic Development and Preservation Corporation , a community development corporation in Laredo, Texas, TVC will work on a community economic development grant from the Department of Health and Human Services to implement the first Veteran sponsored call center under TVC’s NEOF Model.  The Model calls implementing multiple centers which will create hundreds of jobs during the next five years.  The NEOF Model is intended to accelerate economic development with the help of local Veteran community leaders while also providing Veteran jobs.  According Rafael I. Torres, Executive Director of AEDPC and a former Marine, "TVC will provide a triple bottom line by building the local economy, providing Veteran jobs and already returning more than fifty times the AEPDC capital expended for participating in the NEOF Model”.


Essentially, the NEOF model is a system of leveraging community development financing into a platform of sustainable businesses in high need communities, and then incubating these businesses through a national Veteran network of services and shared knowledge. According to TVC’s Chairman Jeff Gault, “The key to this model is that it prioritizes Veteran entrepreneurs while still seeking community input and providing participation in profit sharing”.


The National Veterans Business Development Corporation (www.veteranscorp.org), doing business as The Veterans Corporation (“TVC”, 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.


NEOF (www.neof.com) is an affiliate of TVC which has developed a specialized, public-private model focused on accelerating economic development by working primarily through Service Disabled Veteran Owned businesses. To accomplish this goal, NEOF has aligned local community development interests with the forces of national advocates such as the Business Roundtable, the Minority Business Roundtable, and the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.
