Armed Services and Veteran Affairs Committee Charter

We seek to establish a working relationship with local agencies in government having the responsibility in the affairs of members of the various Armed Services (Active military, Reserves, State National Guard) and Veterans and to see that the programs to which they are responsible are administered fairly and justly to members of the minority community.

One of our most critical roles is to receive and act on all complaints relative to acts of discrimination on account of race, color, creed, or denial of benefits to which they are entitled because of discrimination. We also help by studying conditions, maintaining a repository of materials and forms, and serving as a center of information pertaining to veterans and members of the Military Service and their dependents and/or survivors in the community.
