Executive Director's Insights

Greetings Team!

As we continue to ask what you are doing for the Association, I thought I would give a snapshot of some of what we have going on.

Legislative Update - Top 5 Priorities: Major Richard Star Act; Mental Health and Suicide Prevention; NOPAIN for Veterans Act; Love Lives Act; Veterans Toxic Exposure. Visit ncoausa.org/news/2026-legislative-priorities

New Partners: Corporate Gray; Check-A- VET; Military Air; PUPTQUE (Pending); Spouse-Ly
(Pending); 1-800 FLOWERS (Pending).

Updating how we market our NCOA War Medallion Program (We will keep you updated).

We are the host for the 2027 VDNC Reception (We will be asking for Volunteers for a Committee
soon) More to follow.

We are seeking ways to attract Active-Duty Service Members and retain our current members. On this note, I am asking you all to get involved with your Chapter and or Community activities near you. (We welcome your ideas).
