Department of Veterans Affairs
Robert Henke - Assistant Secretary for Management
The Department of Veterans Affairs is tasked with caring for the needs of military veterans both in times of peace and at war. With conflicts raging in Iraq and Afghanistan, the VA is finding itself challenged to keep up with the need for veterans benefits, especially health care, while trying to update their IT infrastructure and harmonize their medical records system with those of the Pentagon.
