Jeff Shuford Retires from National Invest In Veterans Week®
Jacksonville, FL – Jeff Shuford, co-founder of National Invest In Veterans Week® (NIVW), has retired, marking the end of a transformative era for the veteran advocacy movement. Shuford, known for building NIVW into a global platform, will now serve as Honorary Ambassador of Veterans Affairs, focusing on advocacy in an honorary role.
Leadership transitions include Angel Shuford, decorated Army Reserve Air Traffic Controller, Military Relocation Professional (MRP), and multi-million-dollar realtor, stepping into the role of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Angel will lead NIVW’s growth, focusing on profitability and expanding Jeff’s roadmap.
Shuford’s legacy includes Congressional recognition, a global reach across 40 markets, and countless achievements empowering veteran entrepreneurs.
The founders of the American Society of Veteran Business Owners launched the congressionally honored National Invest In Veterans Week® and International Veterans Day. National Invest In Veterans Week is a veteran-owned, award-winning social impact organization dedicated to advocating for veteran entrepreneurs nationwide. National Invest In Veterans Week is observed each year from March 1 through March 7. During the week, we inspire the public to honor aspiring and established veteran business owners and their contributions to the economy. International Veterans Day is celebrated annually on March 3rd to commemorate global military values and significant historical events. The date was chosen because it coincides with the adoption of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the US national anthem in 1931, the establishment of the Federal Naval Reserve in 1915, and the first amphibious landing operation by American forces in 1776.
National Invest In Veterans Week® vision extends to the digital realm, where under Jeff Shuford’s leadership controls the largest collection of veteran state domains nationally and internationally. These domains are designed to enhance the accessibility of services tailored to veterans’ needs. This initiative is not only a tribute to veterans but also a step towards revolutionizing the way veterans transition into entrepreneurial roles.
The domains, which currently redirect to the Invest In Veterans Week® site, are part of a broader plan for extensive asset deployment throughout both National Invest In Veterans Week® and International Veterans Day celebrations.
They include platforms like LouisianaVeterans.com, KansasVeterans.com, RhodeIslandVeterans.com, NewHampshireVeterans.com, DelawareVeterans.com, PennsylvaniaVeterans.com, SouthCarolinaVeterans.com, MississippiVeterans.com, WyomingVeterans.com, WestVirginiaVeterans.com, TennesseeVeterans.com, NewJerseyVeterans.com, NorthDakotaVeterans.com, Veterans.International, FloridaVeterans.com, AustraliaVeterans.com, SouthKoreaVeterans.com, GermanyVeterans.com, JapanVeterans.com, UnitedKingdomVeterans.com, NatoVeterans.com, UnitedNationsVeterans.com, Veterans.International, ItalyVeterans.com, TurkeyVeterans.com, FranceVeterans.com, NorwayVeterans.com, SpainVeterans.com, InvestInVeteransWeek.com, PolandVeterans.com, BrazilVeterans.com, Netherlandsveterans.com, BelgiumVeterans.com, PortugalVeterans.com, and IcelandVeterans.com, and many others, each dedicated to serving the specific needs of veterans within individual states.
Shuford’s efforts are not merely a nod to the sacrifices made by veterans; they are a proactive move to transform the way veterans integrate into civilian life, particularly in the entrepreneurial sphere. The domains are more than just websites; they are potential hubs for community building, networking, and professional growth, paving the way for veterans to become leaders and innovators in the business world.
