Member Support Committees
With such an expansive and sweeping mission to serve our veterans, their families, and their communities how do we get the job done? Much of the planning that enables our members to more effectively serve veterans in their local communities is done through our national committees. These committees keep their focus on one specific area and share their collective expertise with units and departments so that members at the grassroots level do not have to reinvent the wheel. When one unit achieves success with a project or program, that success is shared and multiplied nationwide.
