The Coalition of Veterans Organizations, National Women Veterans United, Vet Net and the 7th Congressional District Veteran’s Task Force invites you to participate in a Veteran’s Four Part Series Forum and Summit that will lead to Congressional policy recommendations for veteran issues.
The series of (4) four forums will review current policies on VA benefits and hold discussion to allow veterans to express our views and concerns on services. Your veteran organization will sign on as co-sponsors and be present at the one day Summit called the Veterans Roll Call, where the recommendations will be presented to Representative Danny K. Davis (7th) at his annual State of the District Town Hall meeting September 10 -11, 2010 – Patriot’s Day at Malcolm X College located at 1900 West Van Buren. We will then transmit our policy recommendations to the other members of the Illinois Congressional Delegation.
Your organization's participation in these forums and at the Veteran’s Roll Call is crucial. With grassroots Veteran participation and national organizational strength we will be able to improve and resolve historical gaps in veteran’s services that impact VA benefits and the daily lives of veterans.
The four forums will be held at the 7th Congressional District office of Congressman Danny K. Davis located at 3333 W. Arthington (900 S) in Chicago, IL 60624.
