NYC Veterans' Advisory Board Meeting--April 21st

  The 2^nd Veterans’ Advisory Board (VAB) meeting of 2015 will be held on Tuesday, April 21^st.

This meeting will be the first Veterans’ Advisory Board (VAB) meeting of the year, post the new VAB legislation signed into law by Mayor Bill de Blasio on March 18^th. 

VAB members are appointed by the New York City Mayor and the New York City Council Speaker.  The term of a VAB member is three (3) years.  The Veterans’ Advisory Board advises the Commissioner of Veterans’ Affairs on all matters concerning veterans, and meets regularly to ensure that lines of communication are maintained to cultivate an active community.  

Representatives from the Mayor’s Office of Veterans’ Affairs (MOVA) and the New York City Council Committee on Veterans will join members of the VAB on April 21st.  MOVA is pleased to announce, for the first time in the history of the VAB that the meetings will be open to the public, and will rotate throughout the five Boroughs.  

The VAB meeting Agenda is crafted by the Chairperson of the VAB, and the community is invited to bring community concerns to the attention of the VAB throughout the year.  Future meeting dates will be posted on the MOVA website; after the VAB has established the VAB meeting dates.
