Disabled American Veterans- Department of Nevada Annual Convention

Members of DAV (Disabled American Veterans) from throughout the state of Nevada will hold our annual department convention in Sparks, Nevada from Saturday May 14, 2022, to Tuesday May 17, 2022, at the Sparks Nugget Casino Resort located at 1100 Nugget Avenue, Sparks, Nevada 89431

We will be celebrating DAV’s service to Disabled Veterans and charting the course for how the state will continue to serve veterans throughout the year.

More than 150 DAV members—including many ill and injured veterans of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan—are expected to attend.

Convention business sessions will include adoption of resolutions to be submitted to DAV’s National Convention. Several of these mandates are expected to concentrate on improvements in the rights and benefits earned by more than 4 million veterans disabled in wartime service to their country.

DAV leaders are deeply concerned about fully funding the Department of Veterans Affairs and properly implementing VA healthcare initiatives as well as supporting our veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits and other exposures while serving our nation both in foreign and domestic service.

The convention’s highlight will be a banquet held on Tuesday May 17, 2022, at 6:00 p.m., at which featured speaker(s) will be DAV key leaders and veterans’ supporters. Additional key events will include, employment resource fair, vendor resource fair, briefings and assistance from the Veterans Benefits Administration and the Veterans Hospital Administration, and more!

Election of new DAV state-level officers for the coming year will be held Tuesday May 17, 2022, at 3:15p.m.

Founded on Sept. 25, 1920, DAV empowers veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. We are dedicated to a single purpose: fulfilling our promises to the men and women who served. DAV does this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them, assisting them with employment, fighting for the interests of America’s injured heroes on Capitol Hill, and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life. DAV, a nonprofit organization with more than 1 million members, was founded in 1920 and chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1932. Learn more at www.dav.org.
