The Savannah Area Military Officers Association (SAMOA) is the local affiliate of the national organization, the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA). The chapter was chartered March 15, 1963, and has been in continuous operation since that date. The chapter is also affiliated with the Georgia Military Officers Association. Currently, the chapter has over 200 members who reside in Savannah as well as in the counties surrounding Savannah. All branches of the uniformed services are represented and members include commissioned and warrant officers who are retired, on active duty, or are members of the National Guard and Reserve and former commissioned and warrant officers.

 

Chapter activities include monthly business/social dinner meetings with the exception of June, July and August which are luncheon meetings. Included in our social activities are our Annual Member Appreciation and our Christmas Dinner/Dance. In general, we meet either at the Hunter AAF Club or other area restaurants.

On occasion, we participate in joint activities with other MOAA Chapters and local military associations. We publish a newsletter 12 times a year coinciding with our meetings and highlighting events and important information affecting all MOAA members. This newsletter is sent to all members prior to each scheduled meeting or event.
The Savannah Area Chapter supports the goals and objectives of MOAA through contact with it's elected officials. The chapter also participates in various projects and activities in support of the local community.
