Requirements for Nomination
Submission: Nomination packages must
be typed (12-point font) and include: (1)
A cover letter from the nominee, and (2)
a current resume that is no more than
four pages in length. The cover letter
must summarize: The nominees’ interest
in serving on the committee and
contributions she/he can make to the
work of the committee; any relevant
Veterans service activities she/he is
currently engaged in; the military
branch affiliation and timeframe of
military service (if applicable). To
promote inclusion and demographic
balance of membership, please include
as much information related to your
race, national origin, disability status, or
any other factors that may give you a
diverse perspective on women Veterans
matters. Finally, the cover letter must
include the nominee’s complete contact
information (name, address, email
address, and phone number); and a
statement confirming that she/he is not
a Federally-registered lobbyist. The
resume should show professional and/
or work experience, and Veterans
service involvement—especially service
that involves women Veterans’ issues.
Self-nominations are acceptable. Any
letters of nomination from organizations
or other individuals must accompany
the package, when it is submitted.
Letters of nomination submitted without
a complete nomination package will not
be considered. Do not submit a package,
without the nominee’s consent or
awareness.
The Department makes every effort to
ensure that the membership of its
advisory committees is fairly balanced,
in terms of points of view represented.
In the review process, consideration is
given to nominees’ potential to address
the Committee’s demographic needs
(regional representation, race/ethnicity
representation, professional expertise,
war era service, gender, former enlisted
or officer status, branch of service, etc.).
Other considerations to promote a
balanced membership include longevity
