Here is the 2026 JRAD agenda!

This year’s Joint Retiree Appreciation Day agenda includes timely information on military retirement, veterans benefits, healthcare, Medicare, Social Security, legislative developments and other issues affecting military retirees, veterans and their families.

While some topics may be familiar from previous years, presentation materials and talking points are refreshed annually to reflect current events, benefit changes and the latest legislative updates.

We are also pleased to welcome several new presenters this year, including representatives from the Social Security Administration and the Minnesota Veterans Food Pantry. The program will conclude with a panel discussion featuring county veteran service officers from Minnesota and Wisconsin.

More than 40 organizations will participate as exhibitors this year. All of our longtime exhibitors are returning, along with several organizations joining us for the first time.

The organizations listed on the agenda have confirmed their participation. Some individual speaker names are still being finalized and will be announced as they become available.

Please note that the agenda is subject to change.
