July Speaker: Staff Sgt. Daryl Brown
His topic will be "Retiree Update" |
President's Cornerby George SchaefferAs you may know, the Board of Directors has endorsed a proposal, to change our association’s name to Military Officers Association of America. This historic change represents a turning point for the organization. The National Board, chapter leaders and staff firmly support the recommendation to change the name. They strongly believe that the new name more accurately reflects the mission to serve all officers, retired and active duty, at every stage of their lives. I believe that the new name will strengthen our voice on Capitol Hill and greatly increase our ability to maintain and even increase our membership so that we can continue our work on behalf of all officers and their families. All voting members will have the opportunity to vote, by Internet or by mail, during the balloting period commencing upon receipt of the August 2002 issue of The Retired Officer Magazine. The ballot will include other voting issues such as the election of new Board members and will be mailed as a wraparound to the August issue of the magazine. Please vote and make your vice heard.. |
