VOB 9009 Helps Veteran-Owned Businesses Prosper Through Quality Certification

Dec. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- (IndustrialPR.net) – Businesses owned by Veterans are gaining opportunities to grow and prosper by being recognized by the American Board of Accredited Certifications (ABAC™), one of the nation's leading accreditation boards. Today, ABAC™ introduced VOB 9009 (http://www.VOB9009.com), a quality certification program specifically for businesses owned and/or managed by retired or active duty military, reservist, service disabled veteran (SDVOSB) or military or veteran spouse of the United States Army (USARMY), Air Force (USAF), Marine Corps (USMC), Navy (USN), Coast Guard (USCG) and National Guard.

According to ABAC™ spokesperson Richard Milton, VOB 9009 is the nation's only quality-focused certification program specifically for businesses owned by Veterans, and is superior to the Generic ISO 9001:2008 standard. VOB 9009 certification automatically qualifies Veteran-owned businesses for ISO 9001 certification, which alone can save the business thousands of dollars in consultation, auditing and accreditation fees,” said Milton. He added, “Being both VOB 9009 and ISO 9001 certified can help businesses win Government contracts and open up more opportunities to network with fellow veterans as well as attract prospective customers who strongly and proudly support veterans businesses.”

ABAC™ is proud to state its Board of Advisors (http://aboac.org/board-of-advisors) consists of several retired members of the U.S. Military with a number of other Veterans coming aboard in early 2015 to serve as advisors. Like all advisory boards, ABAC’s advisors are made up of volunteers who offer their input, ideas and expert advise. Advisory board members are not legally bound, but are important to the success of an organization by advising the management of a corporation, organization, or foundation.

G-PMC Registrars, LLC (http://www.G-PMC.com), an ABAC™ accredited certification body which is one of about a dozen authorized registrars to issue VOB 9009 certificates recently posted a heart-touching video on Youtube to salute and honor all Veterans at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mek4g1W_z9I
