Subcommittee on Veteran Engagement, Notice of Meeting

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. Ch. 10, that the Research 
Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses Subcommittee on 
Veteran Engagement will hold a Veteran Engagement Session (VES) on 
October 23, 2026 at the Fairmont Washington, DC, Georgetown, 2401 M 
Street NW, Washington, DC, 20037 in the Longmont room. The formal VES 
will begin at 1:00 p.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. (ET) followed by informal 
conversations with interested Gulf War Veterans until 8:00 p.m. (ET). 
This session will be open to the public.
    The purpose of the Veteran Engagement subcommittee is to hear 
directly from Gulf War Veterans about past and current health and 
quality of life issues to better understand the Veteran's experience of 
living with Gulf War Illness. It is also an opportunity to share the 
importance of participating in research and the role of VA research in 
informing Veteran healthcare and policy. Information obtained from the 
session will be carried to the parent committee to support the RACGWVI 
mission to provide advice and make recommendations to the Secretary of 
Veterans Affairs on proposed research studies, research plans, and 
research strategies relating to the health consequences of military 
service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations during the 1990-91 
Gulf War.
