On Thursday, April 9, 2020, veterans, their families, and others in the veterans community were invited to join Governor Tony Evers and WDVA Secretary Mary Kolar for a Veterans Virtual Town Hall.

 Gwen Sheppard isn’t just a trailblazer, she’s a pioneer.
As a child of an Air Force family, Sheppard grew up living in various places throughout the country, but it was during a visit to the Air Force Academy in the 1960s that she discovered where she wanted to land. She knew that one day she wanted to be an Air Force cadet.
At the time, only men were allowed in the Air Force Academy, but her parents supported her dream. Then the military did, too: in 1975 President Gerald Ford signed legislation that lifted the ban on women entering the service academies. Read the full story here.
 Many of WDVA's programs and services can be accessed online or by phone, but face-to-face meetings are limited. WDVA has launched a webpage to share updates about the operational status of our programs and services.
