During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to create a Military Families Advisory Board "consisting of experts and family representatives from each service." The board would "help identify and develop actionable policies to ease the burden on spouses and families. The board would provide an institutionalized conduit (presently missing) for the evolving concerns of military families to be brought to the attention of senior policymakers and the public."

Searches of Whitehouse.gov, Google and Nexis failed to turn up any tangible progress on this promise.
 
In an Army-issued press release from May 14, 2009, Toni DeLancey, an Army wife, wrote that military spouses like her "are inspired that President Obama has made it a priority to convene a military family advisory board" and are "looking forward to having a seat at the table." But the release gave no indication of how close to reality such a panel was.
 
In addition, on Oct. 30, 2009 -- when Obama issued a proclamation declaring November 2009 to be Military Family Month -- he made no mention of the proposed advisory board.
 
It's possible that the board is being put together beyond public scrutiny, but until we have tangible details, we'll rate this promise Stalled.
