About Us
Who We Are...
The East-Central Alabama Chapter is an affiliate of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) and the Alabama Council of Chapters (ALCOC). The Chapter was chartered in 1970 and serves the cities of Auburn and Opelika, Alabama, as well as the surrounding areas of Lee, Chambers, Russell, Tallapoosa, and Macon counties in Alabama.
The mission of the East-Central Alabama Chapter is to benefit the members of the uniformed services, their families and survivors, and to advocate for a strong national defense, while providing needed support to the community and its members.
What We do...
The Chapter supports MOAA and the Military Coalition in furthering its Legislative Goals before Congress; conducts monthly dinner and speaker programs; presents the MOAA Medal to selected ROTC & JROTC cadets at 2 local universities and 5 local high schools.
We participate and support the State Veterans Legislation led by the Alabama Council of Chapters and we support the City of Auburn Mayor’s Memorial Day Breakfast, the City of Auburn's Veterans Committee, along with Memorial Day and Veterans Day programs.
We also publish a monthly newsletter, The ECAC-MOAA Newsletter.
