25 years | 25 stories of NAVREF
Since 1992, the National Association of Veterans' Research and Education Foundations has worked to support our members to become a source of excellence for VA Research and Development. Over the course of 2017, NAVREF promoted 25 stories from our members, friends, and stakeholders recounting our unique heritage, culture, and spirit. Our 25 stories campaign culminated at our 25th anniversary conference in Las Vegas where unveiled all the stories in a spectacular gallery room. We thank everyone for their time and support of NAVREF’s vision of a nation in which veterans receive the finest care based on innovative research and education.
