The Massachusetts Executive Office of Veterans Services is a Commonwealth of Massachusetts organization whose focus is the protection of veterans and their families through support systems and emergency financial assistance. As an executive agency, the office is managed by a secretary who is appointed by the governor.
The Executive Office of Veterans Services (EOVS) provides Massachusetts veterans and their families with quality support services. The office was established in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, after veterans died from the COVID-19 virus at the Holyoke Soldiers' Home in Holyoke, Massachusetts. In 2022, the Massachusetts state legislature passed a bill establishing EOVS as a cabinet level service in the executive government of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The current secretary is Eric Goralnick, who was assumed the role in February 2026.
