Chapter Events
Connecting Albuquerque’s military officer community
Legislative Interaction
MOAA plays an active role in military personnel matters and especially proposed legislation affecting the career force, the retired community, and veterans of the uniformed services. The Albuquerque Chapter of MOAA focuses primarily on legislative issues that affect active-duty and retired military within New Mexico State and Albuquerque Metro Area. The Albuquerque Chapter is committed to represent and support all ranks across all services at every stage of their careers. We are the leading voice on compensation and all benefit matters for all members of the uniformed services community within our geographical area. That said, the Albuquerque Chapter is also actively engaged with MOAA at the National-level. Members of our Chapter routinely attend MOAA national interactions with our state-elected congressional offices, whether local or in Washington D.C.
Like MOAA, the Albuquerque Chapter is permitted by law to lobby – and does so actively – its status as a tax-exempt veterans organization precludes it from participating in political activities, which are defined as intervening directly or indirectly in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office. Stated briefly, the Chapter – just like the association – may advocate issues, but it may not advocate the election or defeat of particular candidates or political parties.
