 Greetings Team! There is a lot happening right now across our Military and Veteran Community and around the world. During times like these it is important that we stay connected, stay informed, and continue supporting one another. Please check in on your fellow Veterans, neighbors, and Chapter members when you can. A quick call or message can make a difference. Below are a few updates and items where we need your help getting the word out. LEGISLATIVE UPDATE – TOP 5 PRIORITIES Please continue sharing our 2026 Legislative Priorities with others. These include the Major Richard Star Act, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, the NOPAIN for Veterans Act, the Love Lives On Act, and Veteran Toxic Exposure. These issues directly impact Enlisted Service Members, Veterans, and their Families. You can review and share the full list here: ncoausa.org/news/2026-legislative-priorities If you are interested in helping with our Legislative efforts, please consider volunteering with the NCOA Legislative Committee. Reach out to [email protected] for more information. WAR MEDALLION PROGRAM Thank you to the Chapters and individuals who continue supporting the NCOA War Medallion Program. These presentations are meaningful moments for Veterans and their Families. When possible, please record a short video (30–60 seconds) during your presentation using your cell phone and share it with us so we can highlight these recognitions with others. You can review the Medallion Flipbook here: simplebooklet.com/ncoamedallionprogram NCOA CONFERENCE – 21–24 JULY, NORFOLK, VA Please plan now to attend the NCOA Annual Conference in Norfolk, Virginia. We encourage Chapters to send at least one Chapter Officer and one Member. This is an opportunity to share ideas, learn from one another, and continue strengthening our Association. If you know of any organizations or businesses that may be interested in sponsoring the conference, please send their contact information to me. More information: ncoausa.org/conference MEMBERSHIP – HELP US GROW Our members are the strength of this Association. I am personally asking each of you to encourage someone to join or gift a membership to someone who would benefit from being part of the NCOA. The “I Recruit for NCOA” Lapel Pin Challenge continues. Recruit two new members and receive the NCOA Recruiting Pin and Decal. Send the names or applications to [email protected] so we can verify. Chapters are also participating in the Chapter Membership Challenge (1 Jan – 31 May 2026). The Chapter that signs up the most new members will receive two Conference Registrations. Chapters must recruit a minimum of 25 new members to be eligible. STAY CONNECTED AND SHARE OUR MISSION Please continue sharing NCOA resources and opportunities with others.
