About Us

GENERAL INFORMATION    

MOAA is the nation’s largest and most influential association of military officers.  It is an independent, nonprofit, politically nonpartisan organization.  With about 370,000 members from every branch of service – including active duty, retired, National Guard, Reserve, and former officers and their families – we are a powerful force speaking for a strong national defense and representing the interests of military officers at every stage of their careers.  MOAA’s highest priority is providing first-class service to our members.  We are the leading voice on compensation and benefit matters for members of the military community.  We provide expert advice and guidance to our members.

GOLDEN ISLES CHAPTER OF MOAA 

The Golden Isles Chapter of MOAA was in existence for about 40 years. Our membership lived in the Golden Isles area of Brunswick, St Simons Island, Jekyll Island, Sea Island and surroundings counties.

 The Chapter’s community project provided three annual college scholarships of $2,000.00 each to students of Glynn County High Schools.  All students in good standing were eligible to apply for these scholarships through their school Guidance Counselors.
