Minnesota Association of County Veteran Service Officers

We work collaboratively with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs, and Nationally chartered Veterans Service Organizations. We promote the interests and welfare of U.S. Armed Forces Veterans, their family members and survivors. We strive to enhance the quality of our clients lives through advocacy, counseling, claims assistance, and special programs.
Each member of the MACVSO is a Veteran too. We pledge to fulfill President Abraham Lincoln’s promise: “To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan” by serving and honoring the men and women who are America’s Veterans.

The MACVSO has subdivided the 87 MN County Officers into 9 regional groupings called districts. Each district comprises of a representative to the MACVSO Executive Board to advise on regional issues.

The MACVSO partners with the MN Commanders Task Force and the MN United Legislative Council to promote legislative issues that will benefit Minnesota’s Veterans, their dependents, and survivors.

The MACVSO Executive Board meets throughout the year to continually improve programs and services for Minnesota’s Veterans, their dependents, and survivors. The Association holds their annual meeting in the fall of the year where all 87 counties gather to discuss issues of the Association and receive formal Continuing Education Training Units to maintain our accreditation with the U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs, and be certified by the MN Dept of Veterans Affairs.
