About the Tucson Chapter

The Tucson Chapter is one of ten MOAA chapters in the state of Arizona. Members primarily live in the Tucson area. The Tucson Chapter has been in existence since sometime in 2007—the charter date of the chapter is unknown—with the first chapter bylaws dated 5 December 2007. The mission of the Tucson Chapter is threefold: 1) advocate and support MOAA national goals, programs and priorities; 2) advocate and support the Arizona and metro Tucson programs, activities and proposed legislation that benefit military personnel, military retirees, veterans and their families; and 3) encourage and promote a spirit of volunteerism and participation in programs and activities beneficial to our metro Tucson civic and military communities.

Chapter meetings

Reservations should be made with Tom Owens, the chapter president, who can be reached at 520-760-3476 or by email at owensttt@gmail.com.
