Monday, March 12 marked the first meeting of a newly formed Veterans Services Advisory Committee. The meeting was initiated by Wayne County Action Program, Inc. (WCAP), as a component of the agency’s InVEST initiative. InVEST (Investing in Veterans through Education, Support and Training) is examining ways WCAP is currently providing services for Wayne County Veterans, and how these services can be enhanced. Key to this goal is non-duplication of services.
