VA Veterans Experience Office Community Catalyst Award (VEOCC): Webinar 1
The purpose of this webinar is to educate potential applicants about the VEOCC. Attendees will learn what to expect, become excited about the purpose of the award, discuss its potential impact, and as well as next steps to be successful in their submission.
Despite efforts by both community-based organizations and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), gaps remain in Veterans access to and utilization of both VA and non-VA services. VA must rely on community engagement and outreach with external partners to bridge gaps in services and reach those with unmet needs. 9 million Veterans are currently using VA healthcare and benefits, but nearly 10 million Veterans are not. By having innovative community engagement strategies, Veterans, their Families, Caregivers, and/or Survivors (VFCS) can more readily access benefits and services available to them.

As such, the VA Veterans Experience Office (VEO) is seeking submissions for the VEO Community Catalyst Award (VEOCC). The two top organizations/teams will each be awarded $100,000, in recognition of their outstanding achievement in the development of innovative, scalable, community-based solutions to improve customer experience, outreach, and ultimately increase access to VA and non-VA services for the VFCS. Awardees will have also demonstrated innovative methods for community engagement, coalition building, creating a community connected support system, and modernized solutions to fuel a model that can be customized to meet the needs of any community.

Our First Webinar and Q & A session will take place October 25, 2022 2pm ET, and will include a deeper discussion of VEOCC details, and the challenges faced by VFCS in the community. This publicly available live webinar will also be recorded, and a link to the recording will be accessible through Challenge.gov.
