What is MFM?

NaVOBA’s Marching Forward Mondays (MFM) series was launched in 2020 in response to COVID-19 to connect veteran-owned businesses with potential buyers through virtual events. The program has since evolved to create even more impactful conversations and opportunities, helping veteran entrepreneurs compete for contracts with Corporate America. 


Sessions like MFM Education & Development offer practical training to help VBEs® navigate procurement processes, while MFM Corporate Engagement provides access to exclusive insights from corporate leaders on current and future contracting needs.
