“To be sustainable, business development must be continuous.”

Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services
At Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services (the Center), we view business development as a continuous effort. Adopting the military principle that effective camouflage must be ongoing, we maintain consistent discipline to deliver lasting results for veterans and their families.
The week of March 16 showcases our team’s dedication. We are honored to participate in the 265th New York City (NYC) St. Patrick’s Day Parade as guests of our Command Council member Bob McCann, who is leading this year’s parade as the Grand Marshal. This event amplifies our mission, allowing us to connect with new audiences and raise awareness of the Center’s work.
Beyond the parade, our team is deepening relationships in NYC with local foundations, donors, and our partners at The Fedcap Group and its companies. We are also aligning with our corporate service partners – HR, finance, IT, legal, and marketing – to ensure our strategies and operations support our mission.
Through ongoing engagement and continuous improvement, the Center remains the trusted resource for organizations, individuals, communities, and movements interested in improving the wellbeing of veterans and their families.
