VVA Chapters can submit the Election
Report before the reporting deadline of July 15th to your state council

VVA State Councils will be conducting their elections this year and the
Election Report can be submitted

The new membership tool Guide to Understanding
an Applicant's DD-214 for VVA Membership Eligibility to assist state councils
and chapters in their review of DD-214s to determine whether a veteran
is eligible for VVA Membership is available.
If there are still questions concerning the veteran's DD-214, you can
contact the VVA Membership Department
or the VVA Membership Affairs Committee who will resolve your questions.
The new VVA membership application is fresh off the printing press and
now available upon request
by contacting the VVA Membership Department.
