CDCIP Board Candidates.
Jacob Skog. Current Employer: Department of Veterans Affairs, J.D.
Council District: 5
Qualifications for the Board:
Jacob is very outgoing and has identified that he has been passionate about serving people with
disabilities since he was young. His brother had a disability that confined him to a wheelchair, and he
realized that cities aren’t built for those non-able-bodied individuals. He’s volunteered with several
different organizations through the years on improving disability equity and access. He currently is a
working as a legal qualifier for low-income veterans benefits at the VA as he is an attorney. Most of his
day is interacting with homeless and low-income veterans so they’re able to gain access to or expand their
benefits given to them by their service.
Jacob has wanted to serve on a board where he can bring his expertise and background to serve
vulnerable individuals.
I feel Jacob is qualified for the CDCIP board and I’d like to recommend him for the position.
