Why I'm Running
The role of Judge Advocate General demands consistency, accessibility, and a deep working knowledge of both VFW bylaws and Robert’s Rules of Order. I am running to continue ensuring our governing documents are applied fairly, to support leaders at every level, and to keep the organization focused on mission rather than confusion.
