Megan Kondrachuk, Esq., Law Office of Sean Kendall

2:00 p.m. ET
Overview
Numerous states have considered legislation over the past two years related to accreditation and charging fees for representation of veterans before the Department of Veterans Affairs. While some purport to stop illegal practices, many in fact interfere with our members right to practice as delineated in 38 U.S.C. § 5904 and implementing regulations. At the very least, most of these bills create confusion for veterans and their accredited representatives. Derek, Megan, and Benjamin have all successfully advocated in their respective states, educating their elected state representatives on issues important to our members. They will discuss how they built those relationships, how they countered misinformation to effect change, and provide practical tips for how you can do the same in your local jurisdictions.
