Make Yourself Heard

MOAA chapters provide critical grassroots support for MOAA’s national legislative agenda. Our benefits are under attack, and MOAA is fighting to preserve them. Chapter members help influence legislators and open doors for MOAA’s legislative team in Washington, D.C. In these challenging times, sticking together as MOAA members is essential, and chapters are the best way to achieve this.

Give Back to the Community

Chapter members serve as MOAA’s ambassadors, supporting programs that make a positive impact in their communities. They continue their “officership” by giving back in meaningful ways.

Add Value to Your Life

MOAA chapters host engaging programs and provide opportunities to interact with civic, political, military, and business leaders on topics important to members.

Network with Fellow Officers

Chapters include second-career members in the workforce and retired servicemembers with valuable contacts in their communities, offering helpful resources for transitioning officers.

Stay Informed

Chapter newsletters, websites, and meetings keep you updated on local, state, and national issues, as well as changes to military benefits.

Influence State & Federal Legislation

State councils of chapters often unite to advocate for legislation that benefits military members and their families. This includes initiatives like exempting military retired pay from state income tax and increasing funding for state veterans’ programs.

Build Camaraderie with Purpose

MOAA chapters bring together active duty, former, and retired officers from all branches of service, including the National Guard and Reserve, as well as surviving spouses. These groups foster lasting friendships and a sense of belonging while working toward common goals.
