Dr. Jan Del Signore, MSGT, USAF, Retired, Keiser University Associate Vice Chancellor of Military Affairs was recently elected President of the National Association of Veterans’ Program Administrators (NAVPA) for a third-consecutive term.

Founded in 1975, NAVPA is a recognized organization of program administrators who work for universities and colleges, trade schools, and apprenticeship programs to ensure student veterans are provided the best service and most accurate access to their GI Bill® benefits.

Dr. Del Signore was first elected to the NAVPA Board in 2012 and has served as President since 2019. Her previous roles with the organization include Vice President, a member of both the legislative and education committees, and a two-time conference chair. Dr. Del Signore joined Keiser University in 2000 as the Dean of Academic Affairs at Keiser University Tallahassee following 20 years of service in the United States Air Force.

As President of NAVPA, Dr. Del Signore, and her fellow board members, work to advocate for the improvement and development of educational opportunities to active-duty personnel, veterans, and their dependents.

NAVPA has been instrumental the past year in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on student veterans, the recent 85/15 changes from the VA, and the implementation of the Isakson and Roe Veterans Health Care and Improvement Act of 2020.
