Services

The CVSOAFL provides vital support and resources to the County Veterans Service Officers who directly assist veterans and their families at the local level. Our services include:
Professional Training & Certification:
We host annual and quarterly in-person training sessions to ensure all CVSOs are well-versed in federal, state, and local veterans’ benefits. Training is aligned with Florida Statutes and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs accreditation requirements.

Legislative Advocacy:

We represent the interests of county VSOs and veterans before the Florida Legislature and key decision-makers, advocating for improved services, funding, and policies that support veterans statewide.

Peer Support & Mentorship:

Our network of experienced service officers offers guidance and mentorship to new and developing professionals, ensuring continuity of knowledge and high standards of service delivery.

Information Sharing:

Through regular updates, resource sharing, and collaborative meetings, we keep members informed on the latest changes in laws, VA processes, and veteran-related issues.

Statewide Coordination:

CVSOAFL fosters collaboration among all counties, promoting consistency and best practices in how veterans are served throughout Florida.

Together, we work to ensure that every veteran, in every Florida county, has access to knowledgeable, compassionate support when navigating the benefits and services they've earned.
