  This committee develops recommendations to improve the support and training of VCSOs. It crafts recommendations to increase coordination between VCSOs and the TVC related to the statewide network of services being provided to veterans.
• Veterans Services Advisory Committee
  This committee develops recommendations to the TVC on improving overall services to veterans, their families, and survivors. TVC leadership will provide veteran service priorities and issues to the Veterans Services Advisory Committee for analysis and feedback.

Members of advisory committees possess unique knowledge and skills to augment the knowledge and skills of the Commission.
