divided into four congressional districts and represented by two senators. At the state level,
there are 40 senators and 125 representatives.
GOAL: Influence council chapters to invite state and/or federal legislator as a guest speaker
during 2015 and make contact with legislative staff on MOAA national issues.
Maintain Visibility in the Local Community

communities. Examples include implementing and sustaining scholarship programs, leading
patriotic events (such as, Veterans Day programs), and cooperating with other veterans’ service
organizations (such as, VFW).
GOAL: Encourage council chapters to participate and contribute within their communities by
demonstrating the level of leadership expected of current and retired officers.
