The MyVA Cascadia Board will hold a public town hall meeting on Monday, May 9 in Bend at the Hitchcock Auditorium of Central Oregon Community College from 6-8 p.m. for veterans, their families, and community leaders to brainstorm new strategies to existing veteran issues.

Unlike many veteran forums, this event will focus on strategizing solutions and not address individual Veteran case issues. Veterans with individual issues will be able to address those issues with VA and other advocates before the town hall event.

In addition, VA leadership will be in attendance, including VA Portland Health Care System Acting Director Dr. Todd Burnett, Veterans Benefits Administration Portland Regional Office Acting Deputy Director Kevin Kalama, and Willamette National Cemetery Director George Allen.hire vets
