This Woman Who is Wearing a Face Covering Purchased at Macy’s at the Maine Mall, SoPo, Believes it is Important for Everyone to Get a Vaccination When the Opportunity Arises To Do So.
Governor Janet Mills announced yesterday that she is seeking applications for Maine’s Aides-de-Camp positions, an advisory council of military veterans who advise the Governor on policies impacting Maine interests according to a press release issued by her office.
Established by Maine State Statute, the Governor may select not more than eleven (11) honorary military staff to serve as Aides-de-Camp during her term. Honorably discharged officers or enlisted personnel who served in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines or Coast Guard and who are not members of the state military forces may be appointed as Aides-de-Camp. These individuals will be expected to meet with the Governor and/or her staff periodically to discuss issues pertaining to Maine veterans and act as a liaison between the Governor and their community or organization.
“As someone who comes from a military family myself, I deeply appreciate the service and sacrifice of Maine veterans and their loved ones,” said Governor Mills in the press release. “Maine has the largest percentage of veterans per capita in the nation, and these Aides-de-Camp positions will create an important line of communication between them and state government and will support our shared efforts to improve services and opportunities for veterans across Maine. I encourage all interested veterans to apply.”
If you are a military veteran and are interested in serving as an Aide-de-
Camp to Governor Mills, please send a letter of interest and resume to the Maine Bureau of Veterans, c/o Director David A. Richmond at: Mainebvs@maine.gov or 117 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04330-0117. Alternately, Maine service organizations and other veteran centric organizations may submit nominees from their organizations for consideration, using the same application process, before Friday, April 30th, 2021.
