The above named organizations are those whose service officers are provided office space at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office. What was in past years known as the Territorial Veterans Commission, the Alaska World War II Veterans Board and Veterans Affairs Office, Department of Commerce and Economic Development became the Division of Veterans Affairs in March, 1984. The Division of Veterans Affairs was staffed and became operational in July, 1984. This reorganization significantly elevated the status and visibility of Alaska's veterans within a central point of contact within the state to coordinate veterans issues and programs, acts as a liaison with federal and state agencies, veterans organizations and the executive branch of state government. The goal of the Division is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of state programs available to Alaska's veterans.
