About The Acadiana Veteran Alliance (AVA)
The Acadiana Veteran Alliance was formed to build new economic development and industry with Veterans, and fund post-traumatic stress treatments FOR Veterans. The Mission of the AVA is to unite Acadiana-area Veterans, Acadiana Veteran-owned businesses, and all Acadiana-based companies for a common purpose; supporting Veterans in our Work, Heal, and Give phases of assistance. AVA was built to become an advocate for Veterans and transitioning military and to further their opportunities together. Our vision is to become a lasting and impactful organization that continuously pivots to meet the needs of our Veteran community throughout the years.
