Support Us Today <[link removed]>

At the Bush Center, we believe that leaders like VR Small are changing the world — and we want to help them do it.

North Texas Giving Day is here! Every year, the Communities Foundation of Texas <[link removed]> sets aside a day to celebrate the impact of the nonprofit organizations based in North Texas, including the George W. Bush Presidential Center.

Today, your tax-deductible contribution of $ 25 or more will go further thanks to bonus funds from the Communities Foundation of Texas. If you haven't yet, please support the Bush Center <[link removed]> to help us develop leaders, advance policy, and take action to solve today's pressing challenges.

VR SMALL
STAND-TO VETERAN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

VR Small serves as Founder and Executive Director of the Veteran Women’s Enterprise Center, a national initiative launched in 2015 in southern Dallas to help women-veteran-owned businesses (WVOBs) scale for success. COVID-19 brought an unexpected challenge to the Veteran Women’s Enterprise Center. In a time of uncertainty and change, Small has helped the nonprofit thrive with new, unique programming dedicated to helping WVOBs succeed. In the second quarter of this year, this new programming supported nearly 500 women.
Small is a member of the 2019 Stand-To Veteran Leadership Program class. She is working to enhance the impact of her "Moments that Matter" research project designed to provide a local report on the status of WVOBs, and, ultimately, create a survey tool that can be used both regionally and nationally to assess and connect with WVOBs.
“As a Bush Institute Stand-To Veteran Leadership Program Scholar, I've had and continue to have the opportunity to learn from and engage some of our most prominent national leaders, leading the charge for new and enhanced policies and strategies to effectively engage and support our veterans. These encounters and learning experiences are an invaluable resource that has helped us continually review, revise and focus our veteran service strategies.”
—VR Small
