Your NLS staff will have a booth in the convention center from Saturday through Tuesday, where members and delegates can stop by to learn about our mission to improve and preserve military quality-of-live and veterans' benefits on Capitol Hill.
We will have a number of resources available, highlighting ways for members to get involved in veterans' advocacy, and as always, some free VFW swag.
We will also host a legislative workshop on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. If you're in Reno, check your convention schedule and join us to learn about our work. This year's workshop will focus on ways to help spread the word about veterans' issues in your community this election year.
If you stop by the booth we'll be happy to walk you through many of the online resources we have available to learn about the advocacy work of the VFW, our organizational priorities, and ways to get involved. Here's a quick list of just some of the resources available:
