Veterans' Stakeholders Conference

www.WisVets.com/Stakeholders

Wisconsin as a leader in state benefits and services for veterans annually holds a Veterans' Stakeholders Conference to gather input and discuss current veterans needs and issues with veteran service organizations, county veterans service officers, legislators, and the veterans community. This input is invaluable in examining and determining the needs of our veterans, evaluating existing programs and services, and reviewing our goals for accomplishing our mission of providing the most beneficial assistance and service we can to our state veterans.
