Missy Anderson

Missy Anderson is a service-driven leader with more than 30 years of experience in case management, benefits administration, and compliance across local, state, and federal systems. Born and raised in Sacramento, California, she relocated to Washington State in 2010 and has dedicated her career to building effective, people-centered systems of support—particularly for veterans, service members, and their families.

Missy is nationally recognized for her expertise in GI Bill certification and compliance within community college systems in California and Washington. She has led large-scale program development, strengthened cross-sector partnerships, and created streamlined referral and case management practices that improve access, coordination, and outcomes.

From 2020 to 2023, Missy served as President of the Veteran & Military Services Council of Washington (VMSC), providing statewide advocacy and leadership across all 32 community colleges. During her 10 years at Shoreline Community College, she helped redefine Veteran & Military Student Services and co-created Got Your 6, an initiative that significantly increased veteran belonging, persistence, and completion.

As Operations Lead at Next Mission Alliance, Missy leads strategic collaborations and case management efforts that ensure veterans and military-connected families receive compassionate, coordinated, and impactful support as they navigate transition and define their post-service identity.
