MDVA Panel Discussion: Minnesota Veterans Benefits, Education & Resources

Navigating Minnesota Veterans Benefits, Education, and Career Opportunities

Understanding the benefits, programs, and resources available to veterans is an important part of planning for life after military service. From education and career development to benefits and claims assistance, knowing where to turn can help veterans make informed decisions about their future.

Join Eagle Group for an informative panel discussion featuring representatives from the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA). This session will provide valuable insights into state veterans benefits, education programs, occupational resources, and the services available to Minnesota veterans and their families.

Panelists will explain the roles of their respective divisions, discuss how state and federal veterans programs work together, and highlight important developments in veterans benefits and services. They will also share guidance on accessing available resources, navigating claims, and connecting with the right organizations for assistance.

Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the programs available through MDVA, including education and employment opportunities, and learn why County Veterans Service Officers (CVSOs) are an important first point of contact when seeking county, state, or federal veterans benefits.

Whether you are transitioning from military service, exploring new career opportunities, pursuing further education, or looking to better understand your benefits, this discussion will provide practical information to help you take your next step with confidence.

Our Panelists

• Doug Wortham – Deputy Director for Veterans Benefits
• Dr. Ed Godfrey – State Approving Agency Representative
• Todd Kubinski – County Veteran Service Officer (CVSO) Master Trainer

Additional Resources

Representatives from MDVA may also be available during the event’s social hour to share information about employment opportunities within the department. An HR resource table is being considered, with final details to be confirmed.

Join Eagle Group for an evening of valuable information, practical guidance, and meaningful connections with professionals dedicated to supporting Minnesota veterans.
