Gov. Gavin Newsom recently reappointed a Winters resident to the post of Deputy Secretary of Veteran Services at the California Department of Veterans Affairs.
Keith Boylan has served in this position since 2013 when he was appointed by then Gov. Jerry Brown.
Prior to his appointment, Boylan served as the Government Relations Liaison for the California Association of Veteran Service Agencies (CAVSA), a group of non-profit veteran service providers addressing the needs of California’s veterans.
Boylan is no stranger to the military, veteran service organizations and advocating on behalf of their causes.
At the age of 19 Boylan enlisted in the Army and served on active duty between 1989-1992. He joined the Army to take advantage of GI Bill college benefits and for an opportunity to be stationed in Germany.
