The MOAA web site also provides up to date information about important legislation that can impact all military members and their families.

Member Recruiting
-
The MOAA “Give Me 10” Campaign is Underway
-
MOAA seeks to increase our membership and strengthen chapters by combining our efforts and asking chapters to recruit chapter members who are not currently members of the national MOAA organization, as well as other prospective members (former, retired, active duty, Guard and Reserve officers, and surviving spouse.)
-
-
Why is this important to you?
-
One of MOAA’s strengths has been the significant number of members we represent – over 370,000 – making us the largest military officers association. MOAA memberships give us the strength to be heard on Capitol Hill and keep your be benefits from eroding. Recruiting new national members will not only strengthen chapters, it also will help MOAA maintain a strong and effective presence as One Powerful Voice for our members.
