Jayson Swetnam
Veteran Service Officer
The main goals of veteran services are to provide comprehensive support for service members and their survivors
transitioning to civilian life, ensuring they access earned benefits like healthcare, education and disability
compensation, while also promoting mental wellness, employment, and financial stability, all delivered with
compassion, integrity, and excellence. Key objectives include streamlining access to services, eliminating backlogs,
and coordinating efforts with federal, state and local partners to enhance veterans' overall quality of life.
