Chapter History
The Southern Nevada Chapter of MOAA was established in August of 1965 as The Southern Nevada Retired Officer’s Club, an affiliate of The Retired Officer’s Association (TROA). The association began with 70 Charter members. The first President of the organization was Clinton S. Maupin, Colonel, US Army.
The chapter has been active for more than 58 years. We have 224 members. Thirty-eight are surviving spouses whose chapter dues are free in recognition of many years of dedicated service as spouses of deceased military members. The average age of our members is over 60 years. One of our goals is to recruit younger members.
From the year 2004 through 2022, the Chapter has received 18 MOAA Levels of Excellence Awards — One 4-Star Award and seventeen 5-Star Awards. Under IRS Provision 501-C-19, our chapter is a nonprofit and non partisan association that is a lob for the benefit of all uniformed services.
The goals of the Southern Nevada Chapter are to promote the purpose and objectives of MOAA National, which is to pursue and further legislation, military benefits, education and scholarships and other objectives of the uniformed services, the nation and the Southern Nevada Military community.
