About United
Veterans Committee of Colorado
The United Veterans Committee of Colorado (UVC) and the Coalition of
Concerned Colorado Veterans (CCCV) joined forces on August 25, 1999,
the merger of UVC and CCCV is a most significant step forward in
stretching and improving representation for Colorado’s more than
460,000 veterans at state and federal levels.
UVC is a non-profit coalition of 45 chartered and federally
recognized veterans service organizations and affiliates established
in 1972. CCCV is a non-profit organization of veteran leaders, state
and federal governmental officials. Their purpose was to improve
federal benefit programs for veterans by working with federal
agencies and Colorado's congressional delegation. Both organizations
have united to address issues and concerns affecting Colorado's
veterans in the new millennium. The "new" UVC will continue to work
closely with members of the Colorado General Assembly and all
agencies of state government severing veterans. Over the years, UVC
has achieved and enviable record of legislative accomplishments for
Colorado's veterans. It has earned a reputation for sound
leadership, integrity and substantive legislative agenda.
On the federal level, UVC will continue to work closely with all
federal agencies providing services to veterans and with members of
Colorado's congressional delegation where it maintains effective
relations. UVC meets regularly with all congressional aides and the
congressional delegation to advise and consult on key issues and
funding affecting both the veterans and military community.
The purpose of UVC is to represent its member organizations,
speaking with one unified voice in Colorado, in the State
Legislature and on the federal level.
