Attorney and Veterans' Advocate Jim Fausone

Monday, September 12, 2011

For the second consecutive year, the Canton Community Foundation has received a grant to sponsor the educational forum for veterans and legal advocates. Awarded by the Holbrook Charitable Trust, the grant enables the foundation to again host the popular at the Laurel Manor Banquet and Conference Center in Livonia.

The 2010 summit narrowed the gap in Michigan’s lack of continuing legal education required of veteran advocates to maintain accreditation to work with the VA. The event drew more than 30 veteran and legal advocates and more than 150 veterans and family members.

CCF’s upcoming program will target the approximately 350,000 veterans who live in metropolitan Detroit and the close to 150 attorneys and Veterans Service Officers who work with veterans. As with the 2010 seminar, the first day of the event will be devoted to the professionals. The second day will focus on the benefits for which veterans and their families may be eligible.

Jim Fausone, Attorney and Veterans' Advocate, will discuss the event with Craig.
