As a Board, we are pleased with the leadership and careful management of the agency fiscally and operationally. As we close in on our 30th anniversary, we get the opportunity to celebrate many successes. Meanwhile, we must also continue to meet the challenge of always taking care of veterans. THAT IS WHAT LEADERS DO.
