YONKERS, NY ~ Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano has announced the formation of a new advisory board dedicated to serving the city's veteran community. The Veterans Advisory Board will be responsible for developing and recommending initiatives that aim to strengthen, support, and enhance the quality of life for Yonkers' veterans.

According to Mayor Spano, today's veterans face unique challenges that differ from those of previous generations. It is crucial that the board reflects this diversity of experience in order to better serve and support these individuals and their families. By bringing together veterans from all generations, the city hopes to reaffirm its commitment to those who have sacrificed for our freedoms.

The volunteer board will consist of seven members, with six representing each Council District and one serving at large. All members must be Yonkers residents and veterans. In order to ensure a diverse representation, at least half of the board's members will be under the age of 50.

The creation of this new advisory board demonstrates Yonkers' commitment to supporting its veteran community and ensuring that their voices are heard in local decision-making processes. With a diverse group of representatives from all generations, it is hoped that the board will be able to effectively address the unique challenges faced by today's veterans and honor their contributions to the city.
