Five new members were recently appointed to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Advisory Committee on Women Veterans (Committee), an expert panel that advises VA’s Secretary on issues and programs impacting women Veterans. Established in 1983, the Committee makes recommendations to the Secretary for policy and legislative changes.
‘The Committee’s guidance is instrumental in shaping VA policy for women Veterans, and providing insight on their diverse needs,’ said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert A. McDonald. ‘VA anticipates the important contributions and fresh perspectives the newest members will offer to this invaluable Committee.’
