through the Director of the Center for
Women Veterans.
The Secretary appoints Committee
members, and determines the length of
terms in which Committee members
serve. A term of service for any member
may not exceed 3 years. However, the
Secretary can reappoint members for
additional terms. Each year, there are
several vacancies on the Committee, as
members’ terms expire.
Self-nominations are acceptable. Any
letters of nomination from organizations
or other individuals should accompany
the package when it is submitted. NonVeterans are also eligible for
nomination.
In accordance with recently revised
guidance regarding the ban on lobbyists
serving as members of advisory boards
and commissions, Federally-registered
lobbyists are prohibited from serving on
Federal advisory committees in an
individual capacity. Additional

found at www.federalregister.gov/

members. By statute, the Committee
consists of members appointed by the
Secretary from the general public,
including: Representatives of women
Veterans; individuals who are
recognized authorities in fields
pertinent to the needs of women
Veterans, including the gender specific
health-care needs of women;
representatives of both female and male
Veterans with service-connected
disabilities, including at least one
female Veteran with a service-connected
disability and at least one male Veteran
with a service-connected disability; and
women Veterans who are recently
separated from service in the Armed
Forces.
The Committee meets at least two
times annually, which may include a
site visit to a VA field location. In
accordance with Federal Travel
Regulation, VA will cover travel
expenses—to include per diem—for all
members of the Committee, for any
travel associated with official
Committee duties. A copy of the
Committee’s most recent charter and a
list of the current membership can be
found at www.va.gov/ADVISORY/ or
