- The Chapter informs our members, the greater Fort Bragg/North Carolina, communities and Congress about issues affecting America’s Army and the Soldiers who serve in the Regular Army, the North Carolina Army National Guard, and Army Reserve.
- The Chapter connects the Army to the American people at the national, state, and chapter level.
President's Message:
I am humbled, honored and privileged to be the President of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Braxton Bragg Chapter. I am deeply grateful to the Executive and Advisory Committee members for their continued leadership and support throughout the years. I am moved by their commitment to AUSA, the State of North Carolina, Fort Bragg, and the surrounding community to serve as a Voice for the Army. Chapter excellence for the Braxton Bragg Chapter has propelled collectively in the past few years being recognized as the 3rd Region 2019 Best Chapter and 2021 Best Chapter of the Year, also having the Fort Bragg 2019, 2020, and 2021 Family being the 3rd Region Family of the Year and the most recent acknowledgment of the Dixon Family being the AUSA National Family of the Year. As the President, I look forward to fulfilling the mission and vision of AUSA and increasing Individual Memberships, Community Partnerships, expanding our Young Professional programs and ROTC support.
Even though the Braxton Bragg Chapter has received esteem accolades during the State of Emergency, a great deal of work still needs to be done to reach our goals with YOUR SUPPORT. This year, we will continue to set the bar high and attempt to support our service members, their dependents, and veterans statewide in North Carolina. We will continue to utilize imagination and creativity to support our community as well as collaborate and partner with others who have shared values and beliefs.
Over the last several months we have done several fundraisers and have put some programs in place including the yearly golf tournament and support to Fort Bragg and the surrounding community. I am collaborating closely with the Young Professional Committee to understand what activities and programs are needed for our young Soldiers and veterans. Our Executive Vice President, Kirk DeViere will be working together with the Installation and other Organizations that will benefit our chapter members and their families on programs such as spousal employment, licensure, and resources.
I am proud to be given this wonderful opportunity, and I hope to continue providing leadership to the AUSA Braxton Bragg Chapter in supporting the past and present military men and women at the local, state, and federal levels.
