Welcome!
We're glad you're here!
The VA Bedford Employee Association (BEA) was created to strengthen connection, community, and shared purpose across our campus. Every employee plays an important role in supporting the mission of caring for our nation’s Veterans, and the BEA exists to support you—the people who make that work possible.
Our Association brings staff together through collaboration, recognition, wellness activities, and opportunities to build meaningful relationships across services and disciplines. Whether you’re new to VA Bedford or have been part of our community for years, the BEA is a place to feel welcomed, valued, and supported.
Here, you’ll find information about membership, upcoming events, leadership, and ways to get involved. We invite you to explore, participate, and help shape a positive and inclusive environment for all employees.
