Welcome to the ANTSHE Nontrad Veterans
page.
At the October 2009 Board of Directors
meeting, the board approved a resolution brought forward by
President Jeffrey Bunnell to create a new position on the
board named Veteran Affairs Officer. The board
unanimously approved the resolution. Since the action by the
board requires a change to the ANTSHE governing documents,
the approved resolution will appear on the agenda at the
general membership meeting in March. Once approved the
position will be filled by appointment until which time it
moves through a normal election cycle.
In the interim, President Bunnell asked
the board to appoint Mr. John Mikelson of University of Iowa
to begin to develop the position and gather information.
The board approved his request and Mr. Mikelson accepted the
appointment. Read more about John on the
Board of Directors page.
Below is the description of the position
as it will appear (once approved) in the ANTSHE
Constitution:
ARTICLE VIII…..
SECTION 12: Veterans Affairs Officer
The Veterans Affairs Officer will work to
enhance the educational experience of veteran
non-traditional students in higher education by empowering
and supporting nontrad student veteran individuals and
groups at member institutions. The Officer will be the first
point of contact for veteran members, coordinate with ANTSHE
Communications Officer to provide timely and up to date
information as it applies to veterans and the ANTSHE mission
of support. They will work to connect students groups with
resources, advocate on behalf of nontrad student veterans at
the state and national level. The Veterans Affairs Officer
is expected to attend all Board of Director meetings as well
as the annual conference.
