Congratulations to Katrina Eagle and Jim Radogna, who were presented with the Veterans Community Service Award at NOVA’s 2024 Spring Conference!
This award is presented to a person or organization that has provided outstanding service to America’s veterans, or to programs and legislation which positively affects America’s veterans.
Together, Katrina and Jim represent veterans and their family members before all 58 VA Regional Offices, the Board of Veterans’ Appeals, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. They also work together to develop curriculum and training materials, as well as co-present at various state and national Veterans Service Officer conferences.
Katrina has been representing veterans nationwide for 25 years and serves as an Education Consultant for the CA County Veterans Service Officers, providing training and counsel to CVSOs in all 58 CA counties, as well as co-trainer for the National CVSO’s Certified Veterans Advocate program.
Jim is a VA Accredited Claims Agent and currently serves as co-coordinator of the National Association of County Veteran Service Officers’ Certified Veterans Advocate program and as Education Consultant for the California Association of County Veterans Service Officers.
As one NOVA member said: “They share their knowledge and experience so freely; I feel they have cut years off my learning curve, and they have been nothing but helpful and approachable every time I've had a question. I think they are really good role models as advocates and people. Their presentations at the NOVA conferences are highlights, to be sure.”
We are thrilled to honor Katrina and Jim with the Veterans Community Service Award!
