Military Affairs

Greetings and Salutations,

Fellow Veterans and Brethren of the Eastern Region, I am Brother Ra Alim Shabazz, and I am pleased to announce that I have accepted an appointment as the Director of Military Affairs by the 28th Eastern Regional Director, the Honorable Nigel Coelho. I am excited to roll up my sleeves and get to work to extend the work that the ERMAC has been engaged in under my predecessor, Brother Martin. My tenure promises to be an engaging one for Veterans of the Eastern Region and I have already had vision quest meetings with stakeholders including our Military Affairs Deputy Director Brother Darryl T. Curtis and Honorable Brother Coelho as I craft my vision.

Mission Statement: We are dedicated to building a strong relationship with the military service members, veterans, retirees, spouses, and families living in the Mighty Eastern Region.
Vision Statement: To provide veterans in the Eastern Region the world-class benefits and services they have earned – and to do so by adhering to the highest standards of compassion, commitment, excellence, professionalism, integrity, accountability, and stewardship.”
