Posted
Staff Report-
Senator David C. Long, President Pro Tempore of the Indiana Senate, appointed Jerry Hogan of Warsaw to the Commission on Military and Veterans Affairs.
Hogan is a Marine Corps veteran and member of American Legion Post 49, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1126, Marine Corps Association, National Veteran-Owned Business Association and United States Naval Academy Alumni Association.
The commission consists of four senators, four representatives and four laypersons. They act as an advisory commission to the legislature on Veterans Affairs. In recent years, the commission has taken on the topics of state government contracting preference for Service-Disabled Veterans, County Veterans Service Officers, Military Family Relief Fund, State Veterans Home and other legislative initiatives involving veterans, military and their families.
Upon receiving this appointment, Hogan said, “I am honored and excited to be a member of this commission. As a veteran and small business owner, I know the challenges that veterans face in doing business in Indiana. The National Veteran-Owned Business Association has labeled Indiana ‘Veteran Unfriendly’, and I intend to do what I can to change this perception.
“Veterans only ask for a level playing field in business and employment. Indiana is not known for providing that level field for veterans. I want veterans to know they have an advocate in the statehouse,” he said.
Hogan can be reached at 574-269-2136 or jerry@resourcedevelopmentgroup.com
