"Richard
has spent his entire career in public service," Klarides said. "Whether as a brave member of the
United States Air Force, serving in our local government or policing the
streets to make our community a safer place, Richard has put the public
interest above his personal gain. His selfless disposition makes him a perfect fit on the Board of Trustees
for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.”
The board is comprised of 18 voting
members and shall include two residents of the Veterans’ Home and 16
members appointed by the Governor and other top ranking congressional members.
The board shall advise and assist the
commissioner in the operation of the Veterans' Home, the veterans' advocacy and
assistance unit, the administration, expansion or modification of existing
programs and services of the department and the development of new programs and
services.
“I am
honored that I was nominated and appointed for this position which allows me to
continue my advocacy for veterans’ issues.” Dziekan said.
“As a veteran myself, I am now able to take my advocacy from the local level to
the state level. Helping more veterans in need is a privilege and something I
am very proud of.”(Information is from a press release from Dziekan's campaign manager Sam Pollastro)
