ompany Overview

IAVA-Metropolitan Atlanta is directly responsible to IAVA national headquarters in NYC to provide members the support needed to reach their potential as civic leaders and models of responsible American citizenship. IAVA-Metropolitan Atlanta will accomplish our mission by providing leadership in three key areas:

•Assistance
-Providing our members a community of peers.
-Local support through IAVA “Squads” dedicated to social, service, success, AND sports.
- Regular events
- Linking members with resources/programs to address ongoing transition needs.
* IAVA.org.
* local resources and partner veteran service organizations (VSO).


•Awareness
- Support IAVA national awareness campaigns.
- Increase local awareness of veterans’ issues.
- Promote civic responsibility based on military core values.
- Join with other-era veterans and civilian supporters to accomplish our goal.

•Advocacy
- Support IAVA national legislative priorities at the state and local level.
- Engage public and private sector stakeholders and enlist their support.
- In word and deed, promote ideals of equal opportunity, equal liberty, and shared sacrifice. Our nation is increasingly polarized, fragmented and partisan. Who better to reverse this trend and set a new standard of citizenship than those who have served in uniform? Our nation looks to us for leadership. (We credit our Texas IAVA leaders with solidifying our goals).

Raising the voices of veterans takes all of us. That’s why IAVA is proud to be a member of the VALOR coalition, working alongside organizations committed to advancing innovative approaches to veteran healing.

Now, VETS, the founding organization of VALOR, has an opportunity to bring the conversation around veteran healing, PTSD, and psychedelic-assisted therapies to one of the country’s biggest stages: SXSW 2027.

Their proposed session, “Invisible Wounds of War: Inside the Movement to Heal PTSD,” was selected from more than 4,000 submissions for the SXSW 2027 PanelPicker, and now, they need your vote to help bring it to the SXSW stage.

Community voting closes August 23 at 11:59 PM PT, and it only takes a few minutes — https://participate.sxsw.com/flow/sxsw/sxsw27/community-voting-sxsw/page/community-voting/session/1785434887796001YAke?&utm_campaign=46214552-Media%20Mention&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=433146426&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8RyCdSJ72N_OHIQLITVYvdXTJzzGeUrTuhk2AYg5_KePNxI7_szGV8j1Y85DV25k-ZYGFmlijurcjdSjF2Ip5uIdp4lQ

Every vote sends a message that veteran mental health, innovative treatments, and the voices of those directly affected by PTSD deserve a place in the national conversation.
