Veterans Commission to Hold Informational Meeting

Veterans and members of the military who would like to learn more about the resources available to them and their families, share issues of concern or talk about unmet needs, are invited to meet with members of Howard County’s Commission for Veterans and Military Families on Monday, February 27, from 6 to 8 p.m.

The meeting at the Howard County Library’s Central Branch, 10375 Little Patuxent Parkway in Columbia, is free and open to the public.

The commission was formed early last year by Howard County Executive Ken Ulman and the Howard County Council to help ensure that the issues of the county’s veterans and military families are addressed effectively and efficiently, according to a statement from the group.

The commission advises the County Executive and the County Council of the needs of veterans and military families and maintains a list of resources for both.

An interpreter for people who are deaf or hard of hearing will be provided if requested at least seven days prior to the meeting.
