NASDVA Awards WellHive Executive with the “President’s 2021 Dedicated Advocate for Veterans Award”

Reno, NV.—The National Association of State Directors of Veterans Affairs (NASDVA) President Thomas Palladino presented the “President’s 2021 Dedicated Advocate for Veterans Award” to Nadhal Eadeh, Senior VP of Federal Relations at WellHive. Eadeh was presented the award for his years of dedicated service to Veterans at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and in his role at WellHive. At VA, Eadeh served as the National Intergovernmental and Veterans Service Organization liaison for the Under Secretary for Benefits. 

“States and counties continue to play a crucial role in delivering services to Veterans and they know where the gaps in delivery are,” Eadeh said. “That’s a big reason why I joined WellHive. It’s a dedicated group that wants to solve the biggest challenges in care coordination at VA”

NASDVA is an organization with a history dating back to 1946. In the aftermath of World War II, many veterans earned State and Federal benefits which required coordinated efforts to ensure veterans received these entitlements. Thus, states developed a department or agency specifically to manage veterans’ affairs and carry out the responsibility for veteran services and programming.

NASDVA members represent all fifty states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
