| NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE SECTION |
The Virginia Council of Chapters (VCOC) of the MIlitary Officers Association of America (MOAA) selects priorities for Virginia to focus national legislative advocacy each year. Virginia priority objectives are recommended by the VCOC Legislative Committee, approved by the VCOC, and are generally a subset of national MOAA legislative priorities.
See info in subsections of this portion of VCOC website about National Legislative Priorities, Councils storming DC in support of MOAA priorities, and VCOC Congressional Luncheon each year with Virginia Senators and Representatives.
Virginia Chapters also establish VCOC Goals and Objectives, which include:
GOAL: IMPROVE LEGISLATIVE EFFECTIVENESS
O-1 Increase Grassroots Support (numbers contacting legislators)
O-2 Increase Legislative Team Members (to at least 3 per chapter)
O-3 Each Legislative Liaison meet with each Virginia US Senator or Rep at least once each year to discuss VCOC & MOAA national objectives.
O-4 (state)
O-5 Attendance at Congressional Luncheon (from each Virginia Chapter).
O-6 (state)
O-7 Send VCOC National Priority Objectives to MOAA National each year.
See other Goals and Objectives of the VCOC in the Home Section of this website.
Chapter quarterly reports to VCOC include a Legislative Section, where chapters report on their legislative activities for the quarter.
