PGAHC AND PGOVA To Host May 30 Reception As Part Of Military Appreciation Month

Good partnerships do not have to take a long time to form, especially those honoring dedicated military veterans in Prince George’s.

The Prince George’s Arts and Humanities Council (PGAHC) and the Prince George’s Office of Veterans Affairs (PGOVA) will co-host a reception celebrating Military Appreciation Month May 30 at the Prince George's Office of Veteran Affairs in the County Administration Building (CAB).

The event will be held 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

This is a new partnership, formed between the PGAHC, founded in 1981 and the newly formed PGOVA, launched in April 2019, an office created to address the specific needs of veterans in Prince George’s.

PGAHC is an independent non-profit organization designated by the Prince George’s County government to coordinate financial support for the arts & humanities through partnership.

Since its launch some 38 years ago as the Prince George’s County Arts Council, and its new leadership and rebranding effort in 2011, PGAHC ‘continues to promote arts initiatives in the county with grant programs as well as advocating for legislative support of the arts on the county and state levels.’

PGOVA is the newest addition to county government seeking to help veterans and their families. The office is committed to ‘provide stellar services, advancing to serve the unique needs of veterans, and is seeking to receive “a high ranking of approval from the veterans it serves.”
