This committee is focused on any Veterans related projects and/or activities. The purpose of this committee is to assist project planning and/or design, fundraising and outreach. This group works with local veteran service organizations (VSOs), nonprofits, and government agencies to coordinate resources and services. They will meet 4-5 times a year.
