news&Notes COMMITTEE SPOTLIGHT:
Joint Military Affairs Committee
The Joint Military Affairs Committee (JMAC)—of the Delaware State Chamber and New Castle County Chamber—met in May for their quarterly meeting, hosted by Assurance Media. The committee’s mission is to bring the business community and the Delaware National Guard together to connect and support our service members and their families. The JMAC hosts events throughout the year, including the State of the Guard in February and Major General Francis D. Vavala National Guard Youth Golf Tournament fundraiser in September.

The State of the Guard is the committee’s signature event every February and highlights the Guard’s current missions, operations, and people. The event also honors one small and large business with the Warrior Friendly Business Award, which recognizes businesses for their outstanding efforts in supporting military members and their families. This year’s honorees were Zip Code Wilmington and M. Davis & Sons. Since 2017, July 25 has been recognized as National Hire a Veteran Day. The day raises awareness of employment for service members and veterans. It also

encourages employers to consider hiring them because they possess the skills employers are seeking. Veterans bring leadership, teamwork, and other qualities to the table. This July, the JMAC plans to host a ceremony in recognition of the day and remind employers to hire military talent. This fall, the JMAC is organizing to host its first-ever Hire a Vet Job Fair. If your business is veteran-owned, supports the hiring of veterans and their families, or you have a passion for supporting our servicemen and women, JMAC wants you!
