Programs and Services

The Nevada Department of Veterans Services is pleased to announce a new, FREE resource! It is a Speakers Bureau that will provide you with experts or emcees at your next event, ceremony, presentation, gala, meeting and more.

The purpose of the bureau is twofold. First, it will help ensure veterans, currently serving military in Nevada and their families have information about benefits and services that improve their lives. Second, the bureau is designed to raise public awareness about the rich legacy of Nevadan’s who have served in America’s military and how they can best support our veteran and military communities.

Across the nation, the statistics show less than 1% of Americans living today have served in the military.  This means there are fewer veterans in Congress and leadership positions in both the public and private sectors. Those decision makers are important to supporting and providing funding of necessary programs important to our military and veteran communities.  

One of the best ways for a person to gain understanding of what it’s like to experience something they have never been through is for them to listen to someone who has lived that experience.  NDVS can help provide this personal connection between veterans and our Nevada communities by development and maintenance of a veterans and military speaker’s bureau.
