Eligibility and Dues
The Importance of Becoming a Member
We must keep in mind that members of our military forces put their personal and professional lives on hold to defend what many of us sometimes take for granted, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. After completion of their military service, they must re-join those lives they put on hold. Therefore, at NC VetBiz, we believe that it is very important to become a member, and "Serve Those Who Served".
Becoming a member of NC VetBiz gives individuals an opportunity to support veterans and active duty members of our armed forces as they build their professional careers. As a not-for-profit corporation, you, the voting members control the direction and overall future of the Association. This Association was the incorporating Board of Directors (the BOD's) vision to play a vital role, and assist in their transition back into both their personal and professional civilian lives. Therefore, NC VetBiz Board of Directors, Officers and Members welcome your membership, and thanks you for your service to our country.
