Advising Boards and Supportive Organizations Board of Veterans Services The Board of Veterans Services advises the Virginia Department of Veterans Services regarding programs and policies that enhance veteran services across the Commonwealth. Joint Leadership Council of Veterans Service Organizations The Joint Leadership Council of Veterans Service Organizations provides a vehicle for veterans service organizations to collaborate with the Department of Veterans Services on meeting the needs of Virginia’s veterans. The Joint Leadership Council is open to one representative from each qualifying veterans service organization in Virginia that chooses to participate. All veterans organizations are encouraged to join this initiative to support Virginia’s veterans and their families. Contact DVS at (804) 786-0286 to learn more about JLC membership.

The Virginia War Memorial Foundation supports the education, preservation, and veteran outreach programs hosted by the Virginia War Memorial in a public-private partnership. The Foundation’s overarching mission is to honor veterans. To do so, we preserve their stories, primarily through the award- winning documentary series, Virginians at War, which features oral histories from veterans and civilians set against the backdrop of the historical record. Our education programs, including free education for history educators and livestream classes, provide context for our Commonwealth’s military history in war and peacetime. Throughout the year, Foundation and Memorial staff collaborate to host creative programming for veterans across the state of Virginia, most notably the Mighty Pen Project, a free college-level writing class for Virginia Veterans. For more information about the Virginia War Memorial Foundation and its programming, please visit www.vawarmemorial.org or contact info@vawarmemorial.org.
