Dear GWC AUSA Partner/Supporter,
On behalf of our Executive Committee, sincerest thanks for your continued support of AUSA and our Chapter. We are thrilled to share with all of you that we have been named 2024 Best Chapter in Category 1 (over 1000 members), and will be recognized as such during the Opening Ceremonies on Day 1 of the AUSA Annual Meeting! Do know that our mission and goals remain laser focused on providing a voice for our Army, supporting Soldiers and families, honoring and helping our veterans, aiding in recruiting and retention, promoting our great Army, and offering our defense industry partners opportunities to hear from/engage with Army leaders, warfighters, and other industry representatives.
As most of you know, we were honored to wrap-up a very productive 2023-2024 Luncheon Series on 5 September featuring our Guest of Honor and Speaker, The Honorable Doug Bush, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology). We truly appreciated his taking time out of his incredibly busy schedule, as we are always grateful to our guest speakers devoting their precious time to our members. That said, our members’ time is just as important and, therefore, the reason why we are committed to featuring very relevant to our mission and business guest speakers representing OSD, the Army, and on a rare occasion, congressional leaders.
We will kick-off the GWC AUSA 2024-2025 Luncheon Series on Thursday, 14 November with a to be determined Guest of Honor/Speaker at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington. We truly hope that you will continue to partner with us as our goals too are to make a difference in/around our community which include our Scholarship awards and Soldier/NCO recognitions throughout the year. In keeping with recognizing folks who go above and beyond, we are planning to reinstitute our Commander-In-Chief Award this upcoming year after having been on a 4-year COVID hiatus.
