Valley of the Sun
| The Arizona Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) was the first Chapter
chartered in the State of Arizona. The original Charter was
issued by the former The Retired Officers Association (TROA) on 22 October 1956.
Our new MOAA Charter was issued on the 1st
of May 2003. Most of our members live in the Phoenix Metro area--Cave Creek, Carefree,
Scottsdale, Mesa, Fountain Hills, Glendale and Phoenix proper. Maricopa County is the second fastest growing county in the U.S. and Phoenix
is now the fifth largest city. All you have to do is visit and you will
see why! Come visit our great state and our state's number one MOAA chapter. Please join our vibrant local chapter and add volume to the powerful voice -

On behalf of the members of the Arizona Chapter, let me thank
you for visiting our website. We are proud of the heritage that comes with being
the oldest MOAA Chapter in the State of Arizona. We trust that our pride will be
evident to you as you review the pages of this website.
The Chapter leadership is committed to serving the interests
of its members by providing opportunities for social interaction, in providing
survivor planning information, and in keeping the membership informed of
developing legislative issues and actions at both state and national levels.
Noteworthy Chapter initiatives include our comprehensive award winning monthly
publication - The Sentinel, an active legislative committee, exceptional
JROTC award and scholarship programs, a calendar of social events, and
participation in various veteran’s ceremonies and activities.

Chapter Profile
| Chapter social meetings are held
monthly as a luncheon format. We conduct business and
legislative awareness meetings as called for by the President.
These meetings are generally held at the McCormick Ranch Golf
Club, 7505 McCormick Parkway, Scottsdale, Arizona. Minutes are
published and posted to the
Board of Directors Meeting Minutes page shortly after each
meeting.
Current objectives of the Chapter are to
ensure each social gathering is entertaining and informative.
Business meetings are generally planning sessions and
Legislative updates. Our goal of having a strong, viable Officer
Placement Liaison/Network Representative working with MOAA
National’s The Officer Placement Service (TOPS) program is now a
reality. This is a major project we give continued strong
emphasis. Anyone wishing information on the Phoenix job market
should contact our TOPS advisor or any member listed at the top

about 200 members. |
