Alliance to host Army Community Covenant

The Quantico/Belvoir Regional Business Alliance honors Fort Belvoir at a community event at the Woodbridge Campus of Northern Virginia Community College, Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The day is intended to be a community celebration, and features local vendors, games and activities for children, food and beverages, military vehicles,
demonstrations, and informational booths and displays. There will also be information available on job and business opportunities.

The alliance will also demonstrate the region's appreciation for America's service families while paying special tribute to Belvoir during an Army Community Covenant signing ceremony.

The covenant is a formal commitment of support by the state and local community to Soldiers and families of the Army-Active, Guard and Reserve. It is designed
to develop and foster effective state and community partnerships with the Army.

Army installations are encouraged to sign the covenants with their host communities pledging their commitment to partnership. The alliance invited the post's leaders and personnel to bring their families to a community celebration of the military, which culminates with the formal covenant signing.

It is tailored to the local level and focused on improving the quality of life for Soldiers and their families, at their current duty stations and as they transfer from state to state. Leaders at both local and state levels will participate in the signing ceremony, recognizing the strength of families and the support of the state and local community.

QBRBA is a not-for-profit business organization whose mission is to position the region as a welcoming and supportive community to the military and their
business partners.
