Women veterans across the nation gained a strong voice of support with the naming of longtime veterans’ advocate Nestor Aliga to serve on the VA’s Advisory Committee on Women’s Veterans.

The longtime Vallejoan is one of five new members named to the committee, which advises the Secretary on women veterans’ issues and makes recommendations regarding VA policy, benefits and services created to meet their current and projected needs.

Established by Congress in 1983, the committee shapes the department’s efforts to modernize and provide equitable and timely services to our nation’s women veterans.
