<p> Biography</p><p>Duane Dailey</p><p>As a Colorado native, Grand County native, U.S. Army veteran, I feel that the Board lacks a voice from rural Colorado veterans. Their unique challenges differ somewhat than those in the urban setting; services available in the metropolitan areas are non-existent in the mountain areas as well as the Eastern Plains. Mental Health and PTSD often goes untreated.</p><p>As a County Veterans Service Officer, I am disappointed in the almost one third turn-over of VSO’s per year since I have held my position. As a former County Commissioner, I believe that this Board and Colorado VSO organization can make in-roads with CCI to emphasize the need to train and retrain County Service Officers and increase service hours in the bigger counties.</p><p>Experience</p><p>Grand County Veterans Service Officer; Grand County Road/Bridge</p><p>Grand County Commissioner; Granby Dairy; Amax/Climax Molybdenum Co- Henderson</p><p>Community Service</p><p>American Legion: Member since 1971,</p><p>Post Commander, Post Adjutant.</p><p>District Commander, District Sr. and Jr. Vice Commander, District Adjutant</p><p>Masonic Lodge</p><p>M.
