City Commission on Veterans Affairs

This Commission is an eleven-member board representing the Mayor and 10 City Council Districts. All members must be veterans. The Commission was chartered by the City Council on April 12, 2001. Their mission is to serve the City Council in an advisory capacity on issues affecting the City's military population, both active and retired. They serve as the community's liaison and advocate for veterans' affairs; advise the City Council on issues affecting San Antonio Veterans and their families; and make recommendations for improving services. Their goals are to: provide a single clearinghouse for veterans' services offered by local, state and federal agencies; advise City Council on all issues affecting veterans and their families; and establish processes to accomplish the Commission’s mission and goals. The Commission works with the Economic Development Department, Community Initiatives, and External Relations and with the Bexar County Veterans Service Office, as well as with other departments as needed and stays abreast of legislative items affecting veterans and their families. The Commission meets monthly, generally on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 3:00 pm. The meetings are generally held at 100 W. Houston, Suite 1900, and Commission agendas are posted outside of City Hall.
