The Alliance was formed in response to California’s 1989 establishment of the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) program. The DVBE program sets a 3% minimum goal for DVBE participation in state contracts for goods and services, and requires eligible DVBEs to obtain capabilities certification by the State’s Department of General Services prior to program participation. The Alliance continues work with the California state government to help pass and maintain legislation in favor of DVBEs.
CAB (Corporate Advisory Board) Sponsor to CADVBE Alliance
Comprised of DVBE members and corporate sponsors who financially support the CADVBE Alliance and are involved in the activities and legislation that increase recognition of the disabled vet community. Gary serves on the CAB, and because of his involvement, Amerit became the first DVBE sponsor of this group—setting the example for future successful DVBEs to follow.
Local level DVBE groups work alongside the statewide CADVBE Alliance to represent DVBEs to potential business. Monthly meetings promote partnerships and business opportunity education through presentations from state advocates and local state-connected businesses.

Established as a forum for the DVBE community, the council provides advice, recommendations, and feedback on the state of California policies and practices that affect disabled veteran business utilization and participation in state agency contracting.
