Veterans of Southeast Kansas

In February, 2015, SEK-CAP formed the Veteran’s Leadership Advisory Committee. The committee is comprised of active duty military personnel, veterans, and/or people who work with veterans on a regular basis. The purpose of the committee is to discuss current resources available to veterans in Crawford County, identify ways to increase public awareness of those resources, and offer suggestions for future opportunities and programs.

The goal of this initiative is to ensure that the 2,685 veterans living in Crawford County have support with any reintegration challenges they may face and have meaningful ways to connect with and serve other veterans and the community. For more information about this organization click here.
