Veterans from across the state gathered for three Nevada Veterans Legislative Symposia held in Elko, Reno, and Las Vegas. The events were very well attended and provided veterans with the opportunity to share concerns and select priorities for legislative consideration.
The symposium in Elko marked the first time the event was held in the region and was hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, drawing strong participation from local veterans. In Reno, the event was also held in a new location, hosted for the first time at Truckee Meadows Community College, further expanding outreach to northern Nevada veterans.
In Las Vegas, the symposium took place at the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System auditorium and included participation from state lawmakers, including Assemblymembers Reuben D’Silva, Daniele Monroe-Moreno, Erica Mosca, and Howard Watts.
The symposia were held in partnership with the United Veterans Legislative Council (UVLC)and included presentations from the Nevada Legislative Counsel Bureau, which provided an overview of how legislation is developed and how veterans can stay informed and become engaged in the legislative process.
NDVS will compile attendee feedback, identified issues, and priority topics voiced by veterans from all three symposia. A summary of findings will be posted to our website at veterans.nv.gov during the month of May with highlights also featured in the May edition of this newsletter.
Together, these symposia strengthened collaborations between veterans, advocates, and policymakers, ensuring the voices of Nevada’s veterans are heard.
