The Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is the country’s largest Association of currently serving, former, and retired military officers with over 350,000 members. Established in 1929, MOAA’s mission is to advocate on Capitol Hill and before Federal agencies to preserve the earned benefits of all military members and veterans—inclusive of all grades and not just for officers. MOAA’s record of success in this mission has been consistently acknowledged, and MOAA has been recognized as the country’s most effective military advocacy organizations by The Hill Newspaper for the past 15 years. 

MOAA is a nonprofit, nonpartisan Association of officers from America’s uniformed military services and the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. MOAA’s members include all active duty, former, retired, and National Guard and Reserve commissioned and warrant officers of the uniformed services and their surviving spouses. MOAA’s core mission is to advocate with Congress, DoD, the VA, and other departments to preserve and protect commitments our nation has made to those who have served and those who continue to serve our country. 

MOAA seeks a former or retired senior military/uniformed services officer with a record of visionary leadership to drive organizational success and empower a high performing staff.

The President and CEO also provides leadership and national office support to MOAA’s 400 independent chapters and councils throughout the United States.

Combining inspirational leadership and sophisticated management abilities, the President and CEO will advance the organization in terms of staff and technological capabilities, financial viability, impact, and culture. This includes developing relationships with a broad range of key constituent groups to enhance MOAA’s image and impact with its members, federal government Executive and Legislative branch officials, and other key audiences. Working closely with the organization’s executive team, the President and CEO will inspire innovation and ensure the organization is resourced to advance its mission.
