POWERED BY REGIONS. UNITED BY MISSION.
MEET THE PARTNERS MOVING THE MISSION FORWARD. ONE REGION AT A TIME.
Owners In Honor™ was built to scale across America, not just from the top down, but from the ground up.
Our regional partners are the boots-on-the-ground champions who connect veteran leaders to opportunity, elevate local small businesses, and activate support from coast to coast.
Across every region, they host events, fuel fellowships, and help protect legacies that matter.
WHERE PARTNERSHIP MEETS PURPOSE
"The mission of Owners In Honor means service to me. As a military veteran, I embrace others who give back—and Owners In Honor™ is the only nonprofit I know that helps veterans and their families acquire businesses. They serve as a Sherpa to guide, nurture, and interpret challenges as you navigate acquiring a business. Business ownership is a powerful next step for veterans because of leadership, service, results, and mission."
Henry Stoever, Principal, Brentwood Advisory Group
"There’s a real gap of buyers taking over businesses in small communities. Owners In Honor™ fills that gap by preparing veterans—who already have leadership and judgment skills—to keep these businesses alive and keep our communities thriving."
Michael Shea, Business Broker, Transworld Business Advisors

THE HEART OF OUR MISSION BEATS LOCALLY.
Across every corner of the country, our regional partners are making ownership possible. They know the neighborhoods, the business owners, and the legacy at stake and they’re showing up to protect it. This is where national impact begins: in the streets, towns, and communities we call home.
NORTHEAST
From small towns in Pennsylvania to the heart of Boston’s business districts, our Northeast partners are fueling exits with legacy in mind and helping veterans step into businesses that shape their communities.
SOUTHEAST
In the Southeast, we’re activating a strong network of veteran-friendly brokers, business owners, and foundations. Fireside chats here are intimate, raw, and real—where ownership stories and opportunities meet.
MIDWEST
America’s heartland is filled with family-run businesses ready for their next chapter. Regional ambassadors in the Midwest are connecting veterans to Main Street legacies that built entire towns.
SOUTHWEST
In Texas and beyond, our partners are leading with grit and generosity, backing both funding and mentorship, and hosting powerhouse regional events to spotlight veteran owners.
WEST COAST
Innovation meets tradition on the West Coast, where our partners bridge generational small businesses with mission-minded new owners. With diverse communities and strong economies, the impact here is layered and long-term.
ACTIVATING COMMUNITIES. BUILDING LEGACY. TOGETHER.
At the core of our mission are regional ambassadors; local leaders who believe in legacy, leadership, and transformation. They don’t just represent the brand. They live it. These ambassadors connect corporate and community partners, local Operators, and future Fellows to build ecosystems of ownership across the country.
Through Fireside Chats, we bring this community together; Veteran operators, business owners, and regional allies sharing raw, honest stories of service, succession, and impact. These aren’t staged presentations. They’re real conversations that spark new partnerships and move people to action.
One region at a time, we’re activating leaders, preserving legacies, and building a nationwide community of mission-driven business owners.
