One of the most visible demonstrations of DAV’s dedicated advocacy in action takes place in February at the annual mid-winter conference. Each year, hundreds of DAV members and leaders come together to put a face to the most pressing issues affecting veterans and bring our advocacy directly to elected leaders and policymakers in Washington, D.C.

We invite you to lend your voice to the cause and join us at DAV’s annual mid-winter conference at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia, as we tackle the major issues facing veterans today.

You’ll stand alongside National Commander John Donovan as he presents DAV’s legislative agenda to Congress. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with your lawmakers to make it clear DAV is fighting to:

1. Protect veterans’ earned benefits and oppose PAYGO offsets to veterans benefits.
2. Improve access to benefits and protect veterans from exploitation.
3. Ensure comprehensive care and benefits for toxic-exposed veterans.
4. Modernize care and benefits for women veterans.
5. Expand access to wellness pathways and alternative mental health options.
6. Strengthen long-term care, caregiver support and services for aging and severely disabled veterans.

Join your fellow DAV leaders as we work to ensure policymakers in Washington hear the voices of America’s ill and injured veterans and their families, caregivers and survivors. Together, we will achieve victory and ensure veterans receive the benefits they need and have earned.
