Hubbard County welcomed a new assistant veterans services officer (VSO) this month.
Aaron Majors will serve as a local advocate for veterans and their dependents or survivors, ensuring they are connected with the services and benefits they have earned.
Hubbard County Human Resources Gina Teems told county commissioners that the position, previously held by Darius Simon, became vacant on May 6.
“We went through the recruitment and selection process, so that’s been completed,” she said at the June 7 county board meeting. She noted there were three or four candidates.
By statute, Teems said the VSO position requires board approval as well. County commissioners unanimously approved Majors’ appointment.
