The Disabled Veterans Insurance Careers – Gary V. and Gay G. Trippe Fund for Disabled Veterans was established in 2012 at the SWFLCF to support the 501(c)(3) organization’s mission to educate, train and generate meaningful employment opportunities for physically disabled veterans who will excel at pro-actively cross selling personal lines insurance products on behalf of leading independent insurance agencies. DVIC later founded the No Man or Woman Left Behind Society, a group of individual and business members helping to raise the funds needed to initiate DVIC’s training program.
“The DVIC Fund will go a long way to help give our disabled veterans across the U.S. meaningful employment,” said Gary Bryant, DVIC president and CEO. “We are proud that this fund will continue to grow here in Southwest Florida where it was born.”
