Welcome to the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA)

Making connections on behalf of Wisconsin's veterans community is an important part of WDVA's mission. Secretary Kenneth B. Black and his team are working hard to build coalitions, track down funding sources, learn about new ideas and opportunities, and gather support for our veterans programs and benefits. Getting out into the community and meeting face-to-face with the men and women we serve is truly a pleasure.

Our Mission – To work on behalf of Wisconsin’s veterans community - - veterans, their families and their survivors - - in recognition of their service and sacrifice to our state and nation.

Our Vision – To expand Wisconsin’s role as a dynamic leader in providing exceptional service to veterans throughout their lifetime and beyond.
