It’s been a whirlwind year here at IAVA–from honoring fallen heroes on Memorial Day with #GoSilent to advocating on behalf of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, from hosting the first-ever Commander-in-Chief Forum to re-invigorating Storm the Hill. All of this happened with enthusiastic engagement from our member leaders across the country. With them, our efforts have energy and willpower, perspective and story. And so, on behalf of all of us at IAVA, I want to give a huge shout out to our member leaders from coast to coast! We are so grateful to you for your hard work, your voice and your openness to share the IAVA word in your local communities. Here’s to an even better 2017!
