Our
mission statement and goals were established
at our first meeting:
"The
WOMEN VETERANS WORK GROUP" is a platform
to improve services to women veterans and increase awareness of women veteran issues and
concerns.
We will
reach this through education, marketing, outreach and networking with
businesses and other supportive agencies at the Local, County, State and
Federal level." |
