State Veterans Service Board

The constitution of the State of Georgia specifies that the State Veterans Service Board be composed of seven members.

Each member must be a veteran of the armed forces of the United States and must have served honorably during wartime.

The Governor appoints members, subject to confirmation by the State Senate. Board member terms are staggered and are for seven years. From its membership, the Board elects a chairman, vice chairman, and secretary.

Every four years the Board appoints a Commissioner, through whom the Board controls the overall policy of the Department of Veterans Service.
