Serving
our Nation's Citizen Warriors Since 1922!
The Reserve Officers Association (ROA) represents members
of the seven United States Uniformed Services.
What
Is ROA?
The men and women who serve our Nation in the cause of freedom
need and deserve a voice in creating government policy. ROA
provides that voice. Respected, vigorous, effective—ROA
has a long list of policy accomplishments, and an ambitious
long-range program for the coming decade and beyond.
ROA
Founding and Charter
Founded in 1922, and chartered by Congress in 1950, ROA's
mission is to "...support and promote the development
and execution of a military policy for the United States that
will provide adequate National Security."
ROA
Business
The business of the association is handled through its national
headquarters in Washington D.C. Legislative policies are established
at two national meetings each year—A national convention
is held annually in early summer and the mid-winter conference
and Military Exposition in late January.
ROA
Benefits
Balancing civilian and reserve commitments requires a unique
approach to career management. ROA provides a wide range of
professional and personal benefits including, professional
development workshops, mentoring programs, and a career center
to meet the unique needs of our members.
As a liaison
between government entities, the media, and its members, ROA
keeps reservists and their families apprised of important
topics such as call-ups and legislative actions.
ROA
Today
Increasingly, leadership is being passed to younger drilling
reservist, ensuring ROA's future as a dynamic force for improving
benefits, equipment, and training for America's Citizen-Soldiers.

continues to be a prominent voice of preparedness.
