Jeff Williams, NECC veterans services coordinator

When veterans sit down with Jeff Williams, NECC’s veterans
services coordinator, they are talking with someone with all
the right experience.

Williams, 43, is a Battalion Command Sergeant Major in
the U.S. Army Reserve with one tour in Iraq behind him and
more than 20 years of experience working in the areas of
education and veterans’ services. He is well versed in
most things military.

A member of the Vermont National Guard while in high
school, he subsequently transferred to the Army Reserve
after graduation from Husson College where he earned a bachelor’s
in business administration. He also holds a master’s in public
administration from the University of Maine, Orono. In the
years since, he has garnered significant experience in
veterans’ services and benefits.

“The single most important thing I do is put student
veterans in touch with the resources they need whether it is
in the area of academics, counseling, health care or financial
aid…and I like to think my background lends credibility to
this position,” he says.
