Industrial Associates Program
The GLAC Industrial Associates was formed in 1960 to provide an opportunity for Los Angeles corporate executives to meet with senior Army leaders to discuss ways in which AUSA could help build a base of support for the Army in the greater Los Angeles community. Another objective was to create a forum for the corporate leaders to meet with senior Army leadership in an informal and off-the-record environment.
Membership is $2500 per year and permits each company to send two people to the Industrial Associates dinners. It also entitles them to purchase seats at City Tavern. The dues cover their contributions to the Omar Bradley Scholarship fund.
The Industrial Associates dinners have a high-ranking military or DoD civilian (i.e., Secretary of the Army) as guest speaker. The talks are always off the record and usually very informative. The City Tavern dinner takes place on the Tuesday of the Annual AUSA National Meeting in October every year in Washington, D.C. and attracts the top Army leadership.
Membership to the Industrial Associates would give your company the following benefits:
- Industrial Associates dinners: 5-6 dinner meetings per year for 2 of your senior executives to attend with key DoD/U.S. Army General Officers as speakers.
- Patron level tax deductible contribution to the Omar N. Bradley Scholarship fund, providing annual Army ROTC Scholarships at UCLA, USC, Claremont Colleges, and Cal State Universities at Fullerton, Long Beach, San Bernardino and Pomona.
- Patron recognition at all GLAC AUSA events such as the Army Ball and the Symposium.
- Preferential seating at annual Army Ball in June.
- Annual City Tavern social event in Washington, D.C. during annual meeting in October (separately billed for this event).
- Patron level contribution to the National AUSA Land Warfare Education Fund, providing world wide assistance to members of the U.S. Army military and their families.
- Once a year solicitation/tax deductible donation to the GLAC for all IA programs.
We believe that this program meets the needs of our aerospace industrial base and we welcome your participation in this prestigious group.
