Women Veteran Organizations

WA State Department of Veteran’s Affairs – Women Veterans Advisory Committee

Women Veterans Advisory Committee was created to ensure that Washington’s women veterans have equitable access to federal and state veterans’ services and benefits. The primary goal of the committee is to reach out to women veterans to improve awareness of eligibility for services and benefits. The Women Veterans Program provides assistance to women who served in the United States Armed Forces or in forces incorporated as part of the United States Armed Forces, and who were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.

National Women Veterans of America

Women Veterans of America (WVA) servces as an advocate for all Women Veterans and for women currently serving in the military, providing information and support, serving as liaison to government agencies and helping women veterans obtain VA benefits.

National Women’s History Museum

Women’s contributions and accomplishments for the most part have been overlooked and consequently omitted from mainstream culture. The National Women’s History Museum wants to help fill that void. “The National Women’s History Museum educates, inspires, empowers and shapes the future by integrating women’s distinctive history into the culture and history of the United States.”
