About the Committee:
Jewish War Veterans has implemented a Committee for Women Veterans. I am honored to serve as the Chair. Women have served in the military unofficially and officially since the beginning of this country. Presently, Jewish War Veterans have women veterans from World War II to the present.
Goals:
- Jewish War Veterans, as well as other veterans service organizations, must bring female veterans issues to the public and Congress.
- The VA is just beginning to address the concerns of women veterans, such as creating a women’s health section. We are committed to seeing this through.
- JWV’s Women in the Military Committee will be canvassing for input on the issues and concerns of our female veterans. We desire to represent these interests at the National Executive Committee and beyond.
- We need female veterans mentoring our newer female veterans within JWV. We are committed to seeing a female National Commander in our future.
