WASHINGTON, D.C. Barry Johns, director of the Van Wert County Veterans Service Office, was elected Monday to the executive board of the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers at NACVSO’s Annual Business Meeting and Training Summit.
Johns, a United States Navy veteran who was serving aboard USS
Stark when the ship was struck by Iraqi missiles in 1987, will serve on NACVSO’s governing body.
“It’s an honor to serve the veterans of Van Wert County every day, and this position provides opportunities to advocate for them and for veterans around the country,” Johns said. “As the national voice for thousands of local government employees who advocate for the veterans in their communities, NACVSO plays a vital role in helping connect veterans and their families to the services they need and have earned. I’m excited about the work we have ahead of us to build on NACVSO’s decades of advocacy and education.�
