About the Veteran Advisors Committee
The Veteran Advisors Committee was created to ensure that veterans with lived experience have a meaningful role in shaping conversations, policies, and practices that affect veterans across Kansas City.
We believe lived experience is expertise. Veterans who have navigated housing instability, system barriers, behavioral health needs, employment transitions, or challenges accessing support bring valuable insight that can help our community build stronger, more responsive systems.
This committee exists to create space for those voices to lead, inform, and strengthen the work being done across the veteran-serving landscape.
