BVA National President Paul Mimms will present the Association’s legislative priorities for the current fiscal year in a joint session of the House and Senate Committees on Veterans Affairs on Wednesday, March 6. The BVA Government Relations Team has put together a full written document from which Paul will likely draw many of his oral remarks. 

The annual hearing convenes at 10:00am Eastern Time in Room SD-G50 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building adjacent to the U.S. Capitol. It will be conducted in panel format with nine other Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) seated with BVA. The Association is granted the right to testify before the legislative branch of the federal government by virtue of its Congressional charter, which was issued in 1958.

The session is open to the public. BVA members, their families, and caregivers are invited to attend personally or follow the proceedings virtually via video live stream. The appropriate link is not yet available but should be provided in the March 1 BVA Happenings.
