Education Action Council

The EAC is advancing a strong set of initiatives for members and veterans of the Guard and their families.

The EAC is amplifying the best practices that so many schools are advancing and deploying to help our members and veterans of the Guard and their families get their degrees with flexibility, understanding, and affordability. The EAC is also advancing military credentialing and professional license portability and reciprocity.

All are welcome to participate on PNGAS EAC Monthly Calls, which occur on the 2nd Monday of every month at 11am. Contact PNGAS@PNGAS.org for call information.
