Seven Good Reasons to Join the Southern Nevada Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA)
- Make yourself heard–Numbers count! The more members we have, the more our legislators listen to us because our members and their spouses are local constituents whose votes count! We and MOAA’s other chapters provide critical grassroots support for MOAA’s national legislative agenda. Our benefits are under attack and MOAA is in the fight to preserve them. Chapter members let their legislators know what’s on their minds and open doors for MOAA’s legislative team in Washington, D.C. In these difficult times, MOAA members need to stick together and our chapters are the best way we know to do that.
- Giving back to the community. Chapter members are MOAA’s ambassadors in their communities, supporting countless programs that make a difference in the lives of others. These members continue their “officership” service and are giving back in the truest sense.
- Value added to chapter member lives. MOAA chapters sponsor interesting programs and opportunities to interact with civic, political, military, and business leaders on issues important to members.
- Networking with fellow officers. Chapters include second career members in the work force and retired service members who have contacts in their communities that can be valuable to transitioning officers.
- Stay informed. Chapter newsletters, websites, and meetings provide you the latest information on local, state, and national issues and changes to military benefits.
- Influencing state legislation. Our chapter lobbies for state-level legislation that affects military members and their families, such as increasing funding for state-run VA programs.
- Camaraderie with a purpose. MOAA chapters unite active duty, former, and retired officers from every branch of service, including National Guard and Reserve, as well as surviving spouses. These centers of camaraderie not only give you a chance to connect with other members with similar backgrounds and interest, but to also develop close and lasting friendships.
