WASHINGTON- SVA National Officers Jeremy Glasstetter, Dan Sewell and  Andrea Werner along with SVA Regional Representatives Dani Molina, Abdul Sannie, Valerie Brown, Richard Poor and Karen Pritchett will be the first in SVA's history to work in the newly developed National Leadership Council.  The National Leadership Council is exclusively comprised of the elected student-veteran officers and appointed student-veteran regional representatives. 

 

The Council will serve as the primary vehicle through which the SVA members can provide input to the organization in order to formulate, advance, and assist in SVA's student-veteran agenda.  The Council works directly with the SVA's leadership to highlight and enhance the importance of student veterans for the nation's institutions of higher learning, society, and economy in addition to amplifying the collective voice of student veterans on a wide range of institutional, economic, social, academic, and research issues.  Moreover, the Council will focus on understanding and addressing the distinct challenges of student veterans, assisting the SVA membership, and following the principles of a bottom-up, student-first and student-veteran focused organization. 

 

Returning servicemembers seeking to attend any college or university are encouraged to contact the Council at leadershipcouncil@studentveterans.org to discuss issues, concerns, and suggestions centered on improving the experiences of student veterans in higher education institutions.
