BVA National President Joseph D. McNeil, Sr. will present BVA’s current legislative priorities at a joint session of the U.S. House and Senate Committees on Veterans Affairs. The 10:00am hearing on Wednesday, March 8, the first in-person session in three years due to the pandemic, will also include presentations in panel format by several other Veterans Service Organizations. 

A full contingent of the BVA Board of Directors will attend the testimony while in town March 5-11 for their annual mid-winter meetings. They will also visit Congressional offices in the days leading up to the hearing.

As is customary, a written version of the presentation will be submitted to Congress in advance and made accessible online by both Congressional Committees and BVA. A link to a livestream of the hearing will be included in next week’s BVA Happenings.
