In her current role, Chesley manages WVLAP, where she assists women veterans, who are survivors of Military Sexual Trauma, with their claims for VA disability compensation. She also manages our Veterans Naturalization Assistance Program (VNAP), which assists veterans who are applying for U.S. citizenship through their military service.
