Members of DAV (Disabled American Veterans) from throughout the state of Wisconsin will hold their annual department convention in Green Bay from June 11 to June 13, 2026, at the Oneida Casino Hotel. They will be charting the course for how the state will serve its veterans throughout the year.
More than one-hundred fifty DAV members—including many ill and injured veterans of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan—are expected to attend.
According to Tiffany Koehler, DAV Department of Wisconsin Commander, convention business sessions will include adoption of resolutions to be sent to DAV’s annual national convention.
Several of these mandates are expected to concentrate on improvements in the rights and benefits earned by more than 4 million veterans disabled in wartime service to their country. DAV leaders are deeply concerned about protecting veterans benefits and improving the Department of Veterans Affairs claims and appeals process.
The convention’s highlight will be a banquet held June 13th Saturday at 6:00PM at which featured speaker(s) will be James Procunier, James Procunier, a service-connected disabled Navy veteran, was elected 1st junior vice commander for the nearly 1 million- member DAV at the organization’s 2025 national convention in Las Vegas.
