Mission: BD recognizes that veterans bring unique leadership skills and diversity that can enrich our work environment and meaningfully advance the goals of the company. Veteran Employee and Troop Support (VETS) is committed to BD veterans, veteran supporters, and the military community. We develop and advance VETS members’ careers through professional development, support, networking, and servant leadership. We engage VETS members and drive veteran retention and culture by celebrating and recognizing those who have served their country through collaboration and partnership with veteran organizations.
Key Accomplishment: The VETS ARG has reemerged following the pandemic and worked to build comradery and community through action. Over the course of the year, VETS chapters across the U.S. have come together to host a variety of service-oriented events, paying gratitude to, and recognizing the service of, veterans in the company and in our communities.
“While I’m not a veteran myself, I’ve always had a reverence to those who serve our country. Veterans bring a unique kind of value through their leadership skills and diversity of thinking that helps us be a better company. I am extremely proud of the work the VETS ARG does to honor and give back to the veteran community, while supporting the growth and success of veteran associates within the company.”
— Tony Ezell, Executive Vice President, President North America and Chief Marketing Officer
