U.S. Small Business Administration Veterans’ Small Business Week Event

Wednesday, October 28th, 2015

Vets Corps brings together the SBA and AUSA to host a Veterans Small Business Conference. Vets Corps founder and S.O.Tech President Jim Cragg saw an opportunity to give back to the Veteran community in organizing this event. Most of these events are bland discussions about how to seek funding and register for set asides. So I set out to bring the Association of the US Army to bring a military-speak aspect to the presentation of good information. Brigadier General (ret) Jim Combs will be the keynote speaker and panel speakers will cover everything from mentoring for small business start-ups to how Veteran businesses should engage aerospace and defense industry opportunities. Veterans are twice as likely as their civilian counterparts to start a small business. Vets Corps believes that we need to support our servicemen and women who wish to continue their tradition of leading by becoming business leaders.

The Veterans Small Business Conference will be held November 2 at the Bob Hope Patriotic Hall in Los Angeles, California. All Veterans are welcome to this free event, whether you are thinking about starting a business or looking to expand your existing business.

Team Bianchi’s Kenda Lenseigne Earns Another Win at 2015 CMSA Arizona State Championship

Saturday, October 17th, 2015

ONTARIO, Calif. – Building on the momentum from her wins at the Western U.S. Championship in Las Vegas, Nev., Team Bianchi’s Kenda Lenseigne added another buckle to her collection at the 2015 Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA) Arizona State Championship. Finishing the competition almost 1.5 seconds ahead of her nearest rival, she once again led the women’s division and dusted the men’s division, as well.

“My last two matches have seen a lot of improvements in the competitive package I’m bringing to the sport,” said an elated Lenseigne. “My Bianchi holsters have always been the fastest and best in the business, and now my new horse is proving herself a winner among champions.”

The coming weeks see Lenseigne hitting the pavement to defend her current World Champion title. Her road to the World Championship started with the Lone Star Classic in Vernon, TX on October 9. The following week, fans in Amarillo, Texas will see the fastest single action shooters on horseback compete for the chance to be crowned this year’s World Champion title.

As one of the Cowboy Mounted Shooting’s most renowned competitors, Lenseigne is a four-time World Champion, two-time Overall National Champion, four-time World Point Champion and she has set 11 world records. As a precursor to her most recent win, Lenseigne clocked the fastest overall time at the CMSA Western United States Championship in August.

Team Safariland members are an integral part of the company’s product development process by regularly testing Safariland materials and products to ensure design and development. For more information about Team Safariland and Safariland equipment, please visit www.safariland.com.
