Mar 18 VCSU Meeting
As you know, the next Veterans Coalition meeting is set for Tuesday, March 18 at 1 pm at Utah Tech's Holland Building, in the 5th floor Zion Room. This meeting is always set for the third Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m.
If you have anything you want on the agenda, please reply to this email no later than Tuesday at 10 am. Having a solid agenda helps me apportion time appropriately to accommodate our needs within the 1-hour window we have.
To my recollection, we do not have a speaker lined up.
Thanks, David
New Veterans Coalition Meeting Location
After careful consideration and weighing the needs of our veterans coalition attendees, I determined that it will be best to conduct future meetings of the Veterans Coalition of Southern Utah at the Utah Tech University. The next meeting is set for Feb. 18 at 1 p.m. Inside the Zion Room of the Holland building. I hope to see you there!
The primary reason for the change is that it is a central location geographically for those who attend our meetings. Another smaller, but I think significant, factor is that we hope that we can get some of the younger veterans more involved, such as the Utah Tech Army ROTC and perhaps some of our younger cadets at the high school level.
I'm working with Karl Watters to again provide a detailed parking plan and for details on a shuttle service for those unable to walk the distance from the parking lot to the Holland Building.
I want to publicly thank the Southern Utah Veterans Home for welcoming us with open arms a couple years ago when we moved meetings to that location. They were great hosts and I hope you take the opportunity to extend a heartfelt thanks to them as well.
In 2026, the plan is to move the coalition to the new City of St. George office building on Main Street.
Thanks, David 435-512-1511 (text)
Jan 21, 2025 VCSU Meeting
We had talked about potential location changes for the 2025 year. After careful consideration, here is what I had in mind for the Veterans Coalition for the first half of 2025.
I think this will balance a few needs:
1. To have a few days in a spot that is more centrally located to the population base; and
2. The desire for the Southern Utah Veterans Home to be in the mix as hosts. We love their hospitality and I feel our purpose is amplified when we are there.
Schedule for January through June meetings
Jan. 21 - Utah Tech
Feb. 18 - Veterans Home
March 18 - Veterans Home
April 15 - Veterans Home (Veterans Day planning session)
May 20 - Veterans Home
June 17 - Utah Tech
July - OFF
Aug-Nov - to be determined
Therefore, our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 21, inside the Zion Room, located on the 5th Floor of the Holland Building at Utah Tech. Please let me know what you would like on the agenda by Tuesday at 10 a.m. (I have attached links to the campus map, which shows where to park, as well as a parking pass to put on your dash. It is recommended to park in either Lot N or Lot O.)
As you will note, the meetings from August through November (we usually skip December) are to be determined.
Thanks,
