FROM THE DESK OF THE CHAIRMAN

From the Desk of the NCOA Chairman of the Board of Directors Robert Barnett

I hope that all of you had a wonderful Holiday season. Congratulations to the Navy Midshipman on their win in college football over the Army Golden Knights.

In January your Board of Directors will be finishing up changes to the NCOA Bylaws and Awards Manual. You can look for them to be posted on the website for your review, giving you the opportunity to provide comments. This will allow more time for review unlike in the past when changes were presented at the Annual Conference leaving members very little time to review these items before being asked to vote on changes. The Board does want your input so please take the time to read content and respond.

With the Annual Conference now just 195 days away, I hope you are making plans to
attend. For the first time, the Conference will be held in the Virginia Beach area which is
exciting. The NCOA Staff will be making a trip to the area in the spring looking for great
opportunities around the area to share with the rest of us.

As always, I am open to any questions you have about the Board. You can reach me
by email at [email protected].
