Advisory Board on Veterans’ Services

The Advisory Board on Veterans’ Services advises the Director on veterans’ issues, legislative proposals and program operations. The Board is made up of eight voting members representing all of the state’s counties. Members of the Advisory Board, with the consent of the Senate, are appointed by the Governor and hold four-year terms of office. At least five of the board’s seven members must be veterans.
