Nicholson to Leave VA and Return to the Private Sector

WASHINGTON -- Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Jim Nicholson announced today he has tendered his resignation to President George W. Bush, effective no later than October 1, 2007. 

Under Nicholson’s leadership, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) continued its evolution as a leader in health care innovations, medical research, education services, home loan and other benefits to veterans.  He transformed the VA health care system to meet the unique medical requirements of the returning combatants from Iraq and Afghanistan.

In his letter of resignation, Nicholson praised and thanked the President for the honor of serving him and our Nation’s veterans in this key post at such a “critical time in our nation’s global war on terror.” 

“The VA is a dynamic organization dedicated to serving our nation’s finest citizens – our veterans,” Nicholson said.  “It has been an honor and privilege to lead the VA during this historic time for our men and women who have worn the uniform.  We have accomplished so much and the VA is always striving to improve our services to veterans.”
