Veteran-owned suppliers: important component of
corporate success Vets with and without disabilities are stepping up to claim a niche for their companies and their own
special talents
"Veterans bring more than just a set of technical skills to their businesses. They understand mission,
teamwork and getting the job done." – David Reingold, EVP, Veterans Sourcing Group
By Angela M. Hutchinson
Contributing Editor
Many corporations are committed to seeking diverse suppliers for various
sourcing opportunities. Many feel it's a public responsibility as well as
good community relations to utilize diverse businesses in the areas where
the company is based and conducts its business. And many feel it's a
social responsibility as well as a debt of gratitude to include veteran-
owned business enterprises (VBEs) in their outreach programs, whether or
not the particular vets happen to be service disabled.
ADP: exposure in the vets' business community
Walt Gore is director of supplier diversity at Automatic Data Processing
(ADP, Roseland, NJ). "We have relationships with organizations such as
the National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA) that help us
gain access to the veteran business community," he reports.
Other forms of outreach, he adds, involve active participation in veteran
organization business events and conferences. "Most importantly, our
procurement professionals are required to proactively include VBEs in all
our sourcing opportunities."
It's Gore's job to take the lead in growing the supplier diversity initiative within ADP. "This means
effectively engaging key stakeholders and communicating the business objectives and overall value of
supplier diversity," says Gore.
Tara Amaral, ADP's chief diversity officer and VP of staffing, says, "We continue to build our ADP brand in
the marketplace by supporting initiatives that help drive our diverse candidate slates, support our
associate engagement activities and spearhead our marketplace initiatives."
Meet the Veterans Sourcing Group and David Reingold, its EVP
As EVP of the Veterans Sourcing Group, a VBE, David Reingold is responsible for business
development and corporate strategy. "Mostly, I try to bring our message and mission,
'Keeping American jobs for American vets,' to corporate leadership of the great
companies in the U.S. for the purpose of putting veterans to work," says Reingold. "And I
also work closely with the C&L Group (Reading, PA), which is a leading domestic IT
professional services outsourcing firm and our forty-nine-percent owner. I interact with
their sellers and recruiters and work to coordinate with Tom Shaughnessy, our CEO, our
fifty-one percent owner and a service-disabled veteran, and with our advisory board of
four distinguished veterans."
From Diversity/Careers in Engineering and Information Technologies Magazine – April/May 2012
Reingold's responsibilities include marketing and messaging, business development, oversight of selling
and staffing activities plus direct interaction with senior management and diversity officers of VSG's
clients, like Walt Gore of ADP.
"Also, I work with others internally to develop new sources of veterans, create partnerships with other
firms with similar missions, and improve company performance," says Reingold. As an example, he
recently reviewed a response to an RFP to have VSG become a preferred vendor to a large government
agency, and a similar RFP from a Fortune 500 company. "Then I met with a large job board to discuss
their efforts to provide veterans to industry and improve how they identify vets."
He also attends many veteran job fairs and events and meets with community leaders. "The sacrifices our
soldiers make and the daily sacrifices military families have to make can be overwhelming, and they must
be understood," he says. "How can we tolerate not being able to provide these heroes with a job? They
don't want charity, they want jobs!"
The Vets Sourcing Group, like others, is "mobilized to source, identify, screen, test, qualify, and if
necessary educate, train, and then place veterans in good jobs, in great industries with caring employers,"
he says.
Action behind the words
Reingold enjoys working with ADP because he knows the company "puts action behind its words" and is
committed to diversity and veterans' issues. "My first encounter was with Vito Giuliani, head of global
procurement," he recalls. "He truly wanted to help and was willing to work with our relatively new
company. He championed our cause internally and eventually brought us on as a member of the ADP
vendor network. We are proud to work with ADP, which recognizes veterans as a diverse minority group
and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses as minority firms.
"Unfortunately, many states and a large number of major businesses do not recognize veterans as part of
their diversity efforts," says Reingold. And that, he thinks, is unfortunate for vets and businesses alike.
"Veterans bring more than just a set of technical skills or standard industry experience with them: they
bring the leadership skills and discipline they learned in the military, and they understand mission,
teamwork and getting the job done."

Press Release: C&L Group, LLC – For Distribution May, 11, 2011 – Revised June 1, 2011
VETERANS SOURCING GROUP, A RURAL SOURCING COMPANY JOINT VENTURE, FORMED BY C&L GROUP AND
PENSACOLA FLORIDA BASED SERVICE DISABLED VETERAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESS (SDVOSB)
- New Company focused on “Keeping Jobs in America” for our Veterans through providing Domestic Outsourcing Solutions -
New York City, NY—(Marketwire – May 11, 2011) – C&L Group, LLC today announced the formation of a Joint Venture company, Veterans Sourcing Group, LLC, with a Pensacola Florida based Service Disabled Veterans Owned Small Business (SDVOB), “Pensacola Florida Trading Company” also d/b/a Pensacola Florida Development Corporation . The new company, Veterans Sourcing Group, will focus on locating and developing US based Outsourcing projects to be staffed by expanding its Reading, PA. Rural Sourcing Domestic Outsourcing Center.
Veterans Sourcing Group
Today, the US Military Veteran returning from active duty abroad is increasingly being shut out of IT Jobs due to offshoring, lack of experience, lack of training or a combination of both. The “Veterans Sourcing Group” solution combines the talents of the C&L Group professionals who currently compete with the Indian Outsourcers with the veteran experiences of its JV partner to provide the necessary training, coaching, guidance and placement services to our Veterans to locate and succeed in these high tech jobs. Veterans Sourcing Group, a SDVOB designated firm, is in position to receive preferential treatment by Industry and Government in the award of contracts that may otherwise have gone offshore. Veterans Sourcing Group is a company of VETS FOR VETS with a long term goal of becoming the Leading SDVOB in the Information Technology Domestic Outsourcing Business. Veterans Sourcing Group, LLC is located in C&L Group’s Rural Sourcing Center in Reading, PA.
Rural Sourcing For far too long, there has been a strong and sustained trend in the US to outsource IT jobs to foreign owned companies in India, Singapore, Manila and Asia while simultaneously reducing opportunities and job growth at home. Although we have seen a rebound in our domestic economy, the ability to grow jobs domestically, decrease unemployment and return Americans to the workforce continues to fall short. There is an emerging trend toward the repatriation of jobs back to the United States while refraining from increasing existing projects.
Rural Sourcing or Domestic Outsourcing is the locating of Information Technology and other previously offshored Jobs to high-tech domestic facilities located in “Rural” domestic locations where labor costs are lower than in higher priced settings like New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta and others. Rural facilities are usually located within a two hour radius from major cities. Several years ago, the C&L Group placed its first Rural Sourcing center in Reading, PA where it employs experienced and tested professionals that chose to live outside of major urban cities where living costs and wages are lower. C&L Group is able to keep projects onshore and reduce costs without sacrificing quality and requiring management to deal with the vagaries of delivering projects spread over several time-zones.
This Joint Venture will have as its primary motive creating opportunities for employment for our Military Veterans in the fast growing IT Services field and in certain other areas as well. “As our Military Heroes complete their assignments in service of our country, we want to be sure they have good jobs in a great industry when they come back” commented Sam Champi of the Veterans Sourcing Group. “We are looking to partner with corporate clients, many of whom currently outsource IT jobs offshore, but are now looking to bring work back to the US through the Rural Sourcing and Domestic Outsourcing initiative” commented Daniel Liebman, Partner and Founder of C&L Group.
The Veterans Sourcing Group’s motto, Keeping American Jobs for America Vets is designed to not only be a catchy phrase but to honor the service of our nation’s best, the Veterans, by making sure they are provided with everything they need to reenter the workforce when they come back. Veterans Sourcing Group will focus on developing needed partnerships by reaching out to the Public and Private Sectors and the US Government through agencies such as the Veterans Administration to get them to share in its Vision and Goals. Veterans Sourcing Group is headquartered in Reading, PA where it offers a Domestic Rural Sourcing alternative to sending IT work offshore.
