The Delaware Commission of Veterans Affairs (DCVA) was established in 1987 to support Delaware veterans, their spouses and children. The Commission serves as an advisory board to the Governor for issues that impact the 72,000 military veterans living in the First State.

The Commission consists of 15 members, each of whom serves a four-year term. Ten members are selected by veteran service organizations and five at-large members are appointed by the Governor to represent veterans throughout Delaware.

DCVA partners with the Behavioral Health Consortium and Governor’s Challenge to End Suicide Among Service Members, Veterans, and their Families. For more information, or to volunteer, please view the challenge page.
