IAVA's 2022 Virtual Fly-In
After the overwhelming success of last year’s Fly-In, IAVA’s premier leadership development program went virtual for the second year in 2022. IAVA’s Virtual Fly-In gives our Members the opportunity to meet with policy makers wherever they are, to share their stories, and to discuss the issues that matter most to post-9/11 veterans.
2022 EVENT DETAILS
IAVA’s fight for veterans does not stop, even during a global pandemic. 2022 is building on last year’s successes as we host our Fly-In virtually on Zoom and Facebook Live to reach the largest audience possible while also ensuring the safety of all involved.
Our incredible Member Advocates joined us February 7-9, 2022. See below for a schedule of events and video recaps.
