Meaningful work for military spouses - wherever life takes them.

Education and career opportunities now available for military spouses interested in working in the financial field! 

​AFCPE® and FINRA Foundation are offering an amazing opportunity that may be a great fit for qualifying spouses of the Non Commissioned Officers Association.

On March 1, 2022,  we began accepting applications for the 2022 FINRA Foundation Military Spouse Fellowship!

The FINRA Foundation Military Spouse Fellowship is a national program that offers military spouses the opportunity to earn a career-enhancing financial credential — the AFC® (Accredited Financial Counselor®) certification — while working with the military community.

 Through the Fellowship program, Military Spouse Fellows will:

1. Gain the experience and credibility needed to work in the financial field.
2. Make lifelong friends and connections with other military spouses in the program.
3. Build a flexible career that empowers them to achieve their dreams - while still supporting their service members and families.

Upon completion of the program, Military Spouse Fellows go on to serve as financial counselors at family readiness and support centers, credit counseling and tax centers, financial aid offices, and credit unions throughout the U.S. and abroad.

The Knights of the NCOA Gateway and Gateway Auxiliary Chapters recently hosted a luncheon for 15 Gold Star Moms.  It was a beautiful day for the event and for the stories shared about wonderful, brave service members.

The Rogue Chapter is on a mission to recognize as many veterans of the Greatest Generation as possible.
