Presidents Statement

The Illinois Association of County Veterans Assistance Commission (IACVAC) believes that the most important assets of any organization are its' people. The IACVAC strives to have a positive spirit of cooperation with it's members to obtain it's goals and vision. As superintendent's of a county veterans assistance office, we strive to give aid to all needy veterans which gives us a feeling of pride in helping those in need.

We are always looking to expand our organization to the counties that do not have a Veterans Assistance Commission. If you are interested in informing an office please feel free to contact my office at (618) 498-1810.

I look forward to hearing from you

Purpose

The Illinois Association of County Veterans Assistance Commissions (IACVAC) is an organization of professional veterans advocates. Our membership's purpose is to serve as the central counseling and coordinating office for all County Veterans Assistance Commission (VAC) offices included as members of this Association. We aim to foster and perpetuate VAC's in all counties where viable commissions do not exist and provide such information and training as deemed necessary. The IACVAC seeks to establish communication and recognition with all local, state, and federal service officers for processing Veterans and their dependents' claims as may be referred to the Commission office.
