Francine O'Connor
Corresponding Secretary

           Francine O'Connor has been active in the Chicago Veterans' movement since the mid-1990's. She has been involved in both the organizational foundation of both Veterans for Unification (VU) and the Coalition of Veterans Organizations (CVO). She is Associate Member Director of VU and on the Board and Corresponding Secretary of CVO. Francine's special interest is documentation of both vet groups through her photography.

Francine is a civilian, but a product of a long line of veterans. She has been a VA nurse since 1981 and loves working with the vets. She has been acknowledged by the Veterans Assistance Commission of Chicago, the National Women's Veterans United and Veterans for Unification for her volunteer efforts in the veterans' community. Francine is grateful to be able to continue for another year on the CVO Board.
