My name is Charlene Autolino and I’m the chair of the board of the Veterans Employment Committee of San Diego (VEC). The VEC is an all-volunteer organization comprised of:

• Veterans
• Active-duty military personnel
• California Employment Development Department (EDD) representatives
• Veteran organizations
• Employers
• Government agencies
• Community members

We are dedicated to serving disadvantaged veterans and transitioning military members of all branches of service by helping remove barriers that may prevent them from obtaining life-sustaining employment.

As we celebrate and acknowledge Veterans Day, there is an important question that must be asked: Do you hire veterans?

The SDVEC membership is comprised of many governmental and non-governmental agencies. Visit the Affiliation page for details.

Provide a “clearinghouse” for questions, complaints and recommendations concerning effectiveness of employment services available to veterans and eligible persons at the local level.

Encourage employers from the public and private sectors to list job openings with local EDD offices and participate in employment programs.

Publicize the importance and advantages of hiring, training and retraining qualified veteran and emphasize EDD’s priority services to veterans.

Encourage organized veterans’ groups and individuals to report all job openings to EDD field offices.

Form action committees to review local veterans employment issues and submit recommendations and comments on position papers to appropriate entities.

Assist individuals or organizations who may have questions, complaints, suggestions or recommendations on the employment services being provided to veterans by EDD.

Prepare grant requests to veterans’ organizations and public and private sector organizations for funding and in-kind donations to use for transportation, tools licenses, job interviews, job fairs, “Veteran Appreciation Month” activities, etc. as appropriate.

Confer regularly with field office managers and/or staff on policy matters.

Review departmental operating procedures as they apply to veteran and notify field office mangers of infringements or violations.

Assist field offices in developing jobs by encouraging employers (through PICs, EACs, etc.) to use EDD.

Initiate and prepare solutions which will promote legislative action to augment and support needed services to veterans.

About Neil Hamovitch

In a world where noise pollution often disrupts tranquility, one man has made it his mission to bring peace to those who crave it. Meet Neil Hamovitch, the owner of a rising small business, Soundproof San Diego, a company dedicated to the art and science of soundproofing.

Neil’s journey into the world of soundproofing began with his passion for music at the age of 14, when he discovered the challenge of securing a practice space that wouldn’t disrupt others. His college years introduced him to hourly rehearsal studios with soundproofed rooms, sparking his curiosity about sound isolation. In 2003 when he returned home from college, he was ignited to master sound reduction techniques when he became frustrated with trying to locate a suitable rehearsal studio for his new band.

Over the next six years, he transformed a couple of rooms in a warehouse, conducting extensive research and experimentation, progressively improving the sound reduction capabilities of his rehearsal spaces. This expertise led to a turning point when a client asked him to build a drum studio in a garage. Collaborating with his father-in-law, a licensed contractor, they successfully created the home studio, realizing Neil’s untapped skillset.

Inspired by this experience, Neil obtained his contractor license, and in 2015, Soundproof San Diego was born. The company has undergone substantial growth since its inception, diversifying into various sound control areas. Their expertise now encompasses mitigating footstep noise between floors, treating shared walls, reducing traffic and airplane noise, enhancing windows and doors, and implementing reverberation acoustic solutions in a wide range of spaces.

Soundproof San Diego has controlled sounds in various spaces including multi and single-family residences, offices, home studios, restaurants, gyms, and houses of worship. They have undertaken custom projects involving equipment enclosures and have assisted branches of the military and local government agencies in ensuring the privacy of confidential discussions.
