The VA Weight Management Executive Council was a multidisciplinary group comprised
of nationally recognized experts in the fields of weight management and physical activity.
The Council oversaw and monitored the development, implementation, and refinement of a national
VA Weight Management Program, MOVE!, ensuring that VA subscribes to
the best possible practices in the support of weight management for its veterans.
