While the success of any organization is the sum of the efforts and dedication of its membership, the focus of those efforts is entrusted to their elected and appointed leadership.
At the VFW Department of Wisconsin, we are fortunate to have a proud history of dedicated individuals who have been willing to serve as leaders who helped take us to new heights in Service to Veterans.
On the following pages, please take a moment to meet the key leaders of our Wisconsin Veterans of Foreign Wars for the 2022-23 Program Year at both the Department (state) and District levels.
