Massachusetts Veterans Services Officers Association

Mission Statement

 Seek out and develop personal and professional relationships with public and private organizations throughout the Commonwealth utilizing inclusion, collaboration and cooperation to enhance services for our clients; cultivate interactions with organizations to strengthen existing relationships to better serve our clients; and continue to focus on personal and professional development for the MVSOA and its membership.

Objectives

 Increase professionalism within the MVSOA and its members.
• Focus on legislation to strengthen Chapter 115 and laws benefiting veterans and dependents
• Strengthen ties with other professional organizations and extend and continue on-going dialogs with these organizations (DVS, MMA, AGs Office, VA, etc.)
• Remain focused on fiscal responsibility within the MVSOA and E-Board
• Remain focused on initial training for newly appointed VSOs and on-going sustainment training for experienced VSOs to insure that we are meeting the needs of our veterans and our communities. 

Committees

 The elected officers will participate as a member of one (1) of the four (4) required committees.
• Committee Chairmen will be limited to overseeing one (1) committee, unless approved by a majority of the elected officers. I view these as "Collateral Duties" and should be the primary focus of each committee chairman. If members are responsible for overseeing numerous committees, it can lead to ineffectiveness and does not allow for additional participation by members of the association.
• Committee Chairmen will be responsible for conducting regularly scheduled meetings (In-person, telephone, video conferencing, etc.). These can also be conducted in conjunction with regional association meetings.
• Some committees may be consolidated or eliminated.

 

Battle Rhythm

 The four (4) elected officers will rotate to each regional MVSOA meeting. This will allow area MVSOA members to receive updates and engage with the elected representatives.
• Area Presidents (or their designee) will be required to attend E-Board meetings. This is important so that the E-Board is updated on events and issues throughout the state.
• E-Board and area meetings will be adjusted so that only one (1) meeting is held per week.
• Committee Chairmen will provide an update at each E-Board. "In-Progress" reports will not be accepted on a repeated basis. Repeated "In-Progress" reports may result in the committee being eliminated or Chairman being replaced.

 

Area Presidents/Veteran Protection

Each area president (or designee) will be responsible for presenting updates on the following information:


• Outreach Programs/Campaigns
• Homelessness
• Summary of prior meeting
• Date of future meeting and location


Responsible for coordinating efforts to report and verify questionable charitable organizations to the Attorney General's Office, Veterans Affairs Representative.
