Carmel establishes Mayor’s Advisory Commission on Veterans & Military Families

Finkam

Mayor Sue Finkam announced last Thursday the formation of the Mayor’s Advisory Commission on Veterans and Military Families, a new initiative dedicated to addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by veterans and military families within the Carmel community.

This commission is a testament to Carmel’s commitment to honoring and supporting its veteran residents and business owners.

“Veterans and members of the military from our city have dedicated themselves to protecting our freedoms and ensuring the safety of our nation, often at great personal cost,” Mayor Finkam said. “Their courage, resilience and commitment are truly inspiring. This commission will play a crucial role in identifying and addressing the needs of our veteran community.”

Snyder

City Councilor Matthew Snyder will serve as chairperson of this commission, which will be a volunteer body composed of up to nine members, all appointed by Mayor Finkam.

“This commission will have the ability to address the critical needs of veterans in our community such as rehabilitation programs, mental health assistance and other services,” Snyder said. “By listening to their experiences and understanding their unique challenges, we can ensure they receive the support and resources they deserve.”

Members were chosen from a diverse cross-section of the armed services, veteran residents, and business owners of Carmel.
