Hello Friends,


The United States Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs recently held an important hearing to examine ways the collaborative efforts of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) to support servicemembers and veterans. I was invited to provide testimony to describe Arizona's amazing partnership between the military, government and community.


In my testimony, I outlined how we have cultivated an Ecosystem of Support that features a robust variety of public and private partners that come together in support of our state's 500,000+ service members, veterans and their families.


You’ll also hear my specific recommendations for action by the United States Senate, the Department of Defense and the VA to bolster support for transitioning service members and veterans in every other state across this great nation.

BC THANK YOU.png

We have been through a lot the past two years. Through all of the uncertainty, new challenges and need to physically distance in our community and across the country, one thing is certain - we are resilient. Together in spirit and with a united purpose of rallying to keep our community vibrant, healthy, and thriving, we came together and we never gave up! We faced huge challenges with a resolute spirit knowing that our short-term sacrifices and inconveniences were contributing to the greater good of saving lives and livelihoods.


Our entire team wants to thank you and express our appreciation to the community. We are grateful for your efforts to be a part of the solution and for joining us in our efforts to continue delivering services, support, and connections to Arizona's service members, veterans and their families.
