NGOA-FL was formed in 1903 to further the National Guard in the State of
Florida and to provide a strong, united voice in which the needs of
guardsmen and women can be heard on the State level in legislative
affairs. NGOA-FL is your professional officer association which supports
the newly commissioned officer, the seasoned officer and the retired
officer through legislative efforts and initiatives from the field.
NGOA-FL represents our vested interests at state and national levels.
Both current and future needs require a strong association with an
effective voice. Your support and membership count in ensuring our
collective voice remains strong and obtains the desired results.
The National Guard Association of Florida exists for you; the men and
women of the Florida National Guard. Our goal as an Association is to
strengthen the National Guard through improved personnel benefits,
better equipment, modern facilities and increased relevance.
We absolutely need your continued membership so our state and federal
legislators will hear our voice. Our record of achievements is growing
by the day! We have significantly strengthened our relationship with the
Enlisted National Guard Association of Florida; initiated an awards
program; significantly increased our membership; developed a financial
strategy; and improved our communications.
We have done this with a solid "education" program, clearly defining
strategy and initiatives that improve our life and performance as
members of the finest organization in the world today.
