MILITARY OFFICERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (MOAA) was first established in Los Angeles, CA on Feb 23, 1929. There were only 63 members. At that time the organization was called The Retired Officers Association. In 1944, the Headquarters moved to Washington, DC. In 2002, the name was changed to the Military Officers Association of America. Today there are over 380,000 members and 415 chapters. If you served in any of the military branches, retired, former, active duty, National Guard or Reserves and you are/were a Commissioned Officer, or Warrant Officer, please join us. There are three MOAA Chapters in the Phoenix Metropolitan area and six other Chapters throughout Arizona. MOAA’s purpose has grown to include career transition assistance, military benefits counseling, educational assistance to children of military families and strong involvement in military professionalism activities. MOAA plays an active role in military personnel matters and especially proposed legislation affecting the career force, the retired community and veterans of the uniformed services. MOAA is permitted by law to lobby – and does actively. We may advocate issues, but we may not advocate for political parties or candidates. Throughout Arizona, we have over 1,400 members. Our nine chapters and two satellite chapters meet collectively twice a year in order to insure that we are promoting our extensive programs in personal affairs, JROTC, and other community activities. MOAA’s biggest task is to insure that proposed legislation both nationally and locally involving military/veteran actions serves the best interest of retired, former and active duty military members. We, as a state-wide military organization, supported the installation of the gun barrels from the USS Arizona and the USS Missouri. They are now mounted near the State Capitol at the Wesley Bolin Plaza. We encourage any potential member to join us at one of our upcoming events. The contact information is located below. Recently, ALL nine Chapters and our state Council were awarded the 5-STAR AWARD for excellence. This is the first time that all of our state chapters and Council received this prestigious honor. MOAA ARIZONA CHAPTER — www.azmoaa.org The Arizona Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America was chartered in 1956 and was the first in the state. Today, the members of the chapter reach into the Phoenix community to support veterans, providing donations to the state’s Veterans Home and participating in the Annual Arizona Veteran’s StandDown to assist and support homeless veterans. The chapter also operates a college scholarship fund, providing thousands of dollars to help bright and talented high school JROTC cadets with their college and military career pursuits. Our meetings are held the third Saturday of each month from 11:00am until 1:45pm, with the summer months off. Membership meetings are held at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club, 7505 McCormick Parkway in Scottsdale.

We raise funds for college scholarships, the Arizona StandDown for Homeless Veterans, and JROTC cadets.
