Sen. Bobby Singleton is one of 10 others to be appointed to the Alabama Veterans Resource Center (AVRC) Board, a state initiative to support veterans and their families.
An announcement from the office of Gov. Kay Ivey said that the program will provide "job training and workforce assistance, aid in benefits navigation, support with family and legal needs and build peer and social connections in the veteran community."
“During this past legislative session, I made it a top priority to strengthen our support for Alabama’s veterans and establishing the Veterans Resource Center was a key part of that effort,” said Ivey. “Our servicemen and women deserve accessible, reliable support as they navigate civilian life. With this board now in place, we’re taking a major step forward in making sure Alabama remains the most military- and veteran-friendly state in the nation.”
Singleton represents the 24th district, which includes Choctaw, Greene, Hale, Marengo, Sumter, and a portion of Tuscaloosa.
