ENTERPRISE, Ala. (WDNews) – The Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs (ADVA) honored Tammy Doerer on Wednesday with the Meritorious Service to Veterans Award for her exceptional dedication and lasting contributions to Alabama’s veterans, service members, and their families.
The annual award recognizes an Alabama-based civilian or organization for outstanding volunteer service, the initiation of a valuable project, or significant contributions to the state’s veteran community.
Doerer, Director of Tourism for the City of Enterprise, accepted the award with gratitude, saying she shares the honor on behalf of the city that gives her the opportunity to serve.
A military spouse whose husband served 30 years in the U.S. Army and continues as an Army civilian, Doerer’s commitment to supporting military families runs deep. In her role, she has worked closely with local Veteran Service Organizations, Fort Rucker, community volunteers, and businesses to strengthen connections between service members and the broader community while ensuring access to vital resources.
Doerer has also been a key partner to the ADVA, helping open the Command Sgt. Maj. Bennie G. Adkins State Veterans Home last year and hosting the department’s annual training conference earlier this year.
ADVA officials praised Doerer’s leadership and ongoing efforts to build partnerships that honor Alabama’s veterans and support their families.
