BVA’s Women Veterans Group was created to serve, support, and promote camaraderie among blinded and now low vision women veterans through awareness and advocacy efforts affecting their health and welfare. 

The group’s leadership committee meets every fourth Wednesday of the month while the general membership virtual meeting occurs the day following, usually the fourth Thursday. The meetings begin at 6:00pm Eastern Time.

The next meeting via Zoom, scheduled for April 27, will welcome Nico Marcolongo, Senior Manager of Challenged Athletes Foundation’s Operation Rebound initiative. Nico joined CAF in the spring of 2008 after 14 years of service as a U.S. Marine Corps Officer. He is a veteran of the Iraq conflict and has been supporting injured veterans and first responders since 2003.
