Did you know that 1 out of 5 individuals coming home from deployments are female? This is a significant number. Who’s looking out for them? To illustrate just how much the VFW cares for the woman veteran, they’ve created a position that ensures these ladies and female veterans from all eras are taken care of. With a goal of ensuring each state signs a pact showing its support for women veterans, every state department now has a Women Veterans Chairperson. This female leader is an invaluable asset to the woman veteran, providing a vital link between her and the VFW. The Chairperson is the department commander’s senior advisor on issues relating to female vets and current members of the US Armed Forces.
Responsible for assisting in the recruitment and retention of female veterans and qualified members of the Armed Forces, the Chairperson will be present whenever there’s a unit welcome home, a special recruiting event, or women veterans forum. Given the contact information for all female vets within her department who’ve joined online or at-large, she helps new members find their niche within the VFW. The Chairperson helps match at-large members to the most appropriate VFW Post and also follows up with first-year members to help them find a new Post if they are not happy with their current one.
The Women Veterans Chairperson’s main job is to serve the female veteran. Think of her as your liaison and friend – a person who will ease you into the VFW and help you extract the most from your membership!
