Summary
DeKalb County commissioners unanimously appointed Samantha Sailors as the county veterans services director on May 11, 2026. The board welcomed Sailors and she pledged to work for veterans’ access to benefits and services.
DeKalb County commissioners unanimously approved the appointment of Samantha Sailors as the county’s veterans services director during their May 11 meeting. The motion to appoint Sailors passed 3-0 after a brief public-check for comment and a short congratulatory exchange.
Sailors thanked the board after her appointment and said she would “do my best to give our veterans the service that they deserve for all their sacrifices.” Commissioners urged her to begin her new duties promptly, including identifying a deputy for the office.
The appointment fulfills an immediate staffing need for veterans’ services and was noted by the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs representative later in the meeting, who confirmed the county’s new officer meets state accreditation standards.
