Board of Governors
The Founding members of the AUSA Sunshine Chapter established a Board of Governors (BOG) to oversee the activities of the Chapter Executive Committee and provide strategic guidance to ensure the Executive Committee could provide vibrant set of programs supporting the Central Florida area Soldiers, DA Civilians, and their families. The relationship between the BOG and Chapter Leaders is continuing to work well more than thirty years later. The secret to the success is both groups are dedicated volunteers willing to roll up their sleeves to support the Chapter in its mission to support the Army family in Central Florida.
