The Military Chaplains Association (MCA) is holding its annual meeting in Columbia, South Carolina on July 27-29, 2023. Vet to Vet Tennessee (VTVT), a strategic Veteran/Military Friendly Congregation (VMFC) partner of MCA, has been invited to the annual meeting to promote and expand the VMFC program. Currently, the MCA VMFC program is in 19 states.
Several years ago Monroe County Veterans Court Judge Dwaine B. Thomas was invited as a guest speaker to discuss Veterans Courts in rural communities. This year, Ed Junod, President of VTVT and MCA strategic partner, is a guest speaker on July 28, 2023. Additional VMFC speakers are MCA Executive Director Father Razz Waff, MCA administrator Stephen Stott, Brotherhood of St. Andrew Everett Price, AME POC Chaplain Josephine Pinkney, (US Air Force (retired) and Episcopal POC The Reverend Michele Causton.
We believe, during this conference, we will have the opportunity to expand the VMFC to all 50 states! We report the result shortly after the conference.
