MUSNAVC Recognizes and pays Tribute to our Uniformed Service Nurses in support of America 250th Celebration!
MOAA Awards presented to MUSNAVC
Members Only Section includes: Member Roster; Guest Speakers; and By-Laws
The Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is the nation’s largest and most influential association of military officers. It is an independent, nonprofit, politically nonpartisan organization.
Welcome
WELCOME to the website of the MOAA Uniformed Services Nurse Advocates Virtual Chapter. If you are concerned about Military Healthcare issues which affect Uniformed Service Members (currently serving and Reserve/Guard components, Retirees, Veterans and their families), you’ve landed at the right site. If you’re a current or past member of a Uniformed Services Nurse Corps, you’re on a great path. We also require membership in the Military Officers Association of America, but that can be done as part of the application process at no cost. We also charge no dues! Our members have had interesting and diverse careers, with extraordinary expertise in many areas of nursing. Nurses have always been patient advocates, caring for them continues through advocacy for healthcare-related legislation and other important MOAA goals.
Purpose of MUSNAVC
To promote and support the Military Officers Association of America;
To foster fraternal relations and camaraderie among Military Nurses;
To advocate for Healthcare related services and programs for all Military service members, former and present.
Chapter Update
MUSNAVC is proud to celebrate its 10th anniversary and to proudly claim the distinction of being the first MOAA Virtual Chapter. Over the past decade, we have grown to 539 members representing all 50 states. Even more remarkable, MUSNAVC's leadership has directly contributed to the creation and growth of seven additional MOAA Virtual Chapters.
This incredible journey began with the vision of COL(Ret) Jeri Graham, who recognized the opportunity to unite Army nurses in a virtual community. That vision quickly expanded to include nurses from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and U.S. Public Health Service, creating the diverse and vibrant chapter we know today.
Jeri's vision became a reality through the extraordinary dedication, technical expertise, and perseverance of LTC(Ret) Joe Gollasch. Joe single-handedly created MUSNAVC's membership database, website, newsletter, meeting templates, and established the licenses, accounts, and administrative infrastructure required to become an official MOAA chapter. There is no question that Joe has been the driving force behind MUSNAVC's growth and success.
As our "Master Recruiter," Jeri also assembled an exceptional leadership team to support Joe and the original Board of Directors—many of whom continue to serve our chapter today. Their commitment has provided the strong foundation upon which MUSNAVC continues to thrive.
With the formation of the Council of Virtual Chapters, their original vision continues to expand, and MOAA leadership recognizes the tremendous impact and virtually limitless potential that Virtual Chapters bring to the association.
As I step into the role of MUSNAVC President, I do so with great humility—and, admittedly, a bit of apprehension! Fortunately, I know I have Joe and our outstanding leadership team beside me, teaching me the ropes as I gradually grow into this role. While Joe continues working tirelessly with MOAA to expand its’ virtual footprint, I am committed to building on the strong foundation he and Jeri created by continuing to strengthen MUSNAVC.
Thank you for the confidence you have placed in me. I sincerely appreciate your patience, support, and ideas as we work together to keep MUSNAVC strong and continue advancing our mission of advocacy, leadership, mentorship, compassion, and caring.
