Episode 236: The Honorable Cheryl Mason - Former Chairman of the Department of Veterans Affairs Board of Veterans Appeals

On this episode Derek sits with The Honorable Cheryl "Cheri" Mason.  Cheri is the former Chairman of the Department of Veterans Affairs Board of Veterans Appeals.  Cheri was the first woman and first military spouse confirmed by the US Senate to the position.  She will be discussing how the adversity she faced growing up, how she got her law degree at Creighton, how she came to the Department of Veterans Affairs, her rise through the ranks and she takes some very tough questions about the operations of the VA Appeals Process and what the VA is getting right and wrong.  

She also addresses the high Veteran Suicide Rate since the end of the Afghanistan War, the controversy over her leaving the VA and her new career as a motivational speaker and also her new book, “Dare to Relate, Leading with a Fierce Heart".  

This is a very challenging interview and I think Veterans will gain a lot of insight into the inner workings of the Appeals process.
