MOAA is the nation's largest and most influential association of military officers. We are a powerful force speaking for a strong national defense and representing the interests of military officers and their families at every stage of their careers. MOAA National, the various State Councils and their affiliate chapters, including the Military Officers Association of America, Cape Canaveral (MOAACC), are all nonpartisan organizations.
The Legislative Affairs Committee of MOAACC monitors local, state and national legislative actions that affect national defense or military personnel (active duty, retirees and veterans) and keeps Chapter members informed. The committee maintains liaison with local veteran and military retiree organizations, the Legislative Affairs Committees of the Florida Council of Chapters and MOAA\'s Government Relations Office to combine support for common legislative objectives. The committee also establishes and maintains effective relationships and communications channels with local, state and national legislators. The committee makes use of available tools for reaching the membership and promoting individual actions to achieve MOAA's legislative objectives.
