The Virginia Council of Chapters of the Military Officers Association of America (VCOC / MOAA) - also referred to as simply "VCOC" – is an affiliation of MOAA chapters throughout Virginia. There are 16 MOAA chapters and some 49,000 MOAA members in Virginia (roughly ten percent of Virginia MOAA members are members of a local chapter). Many MOAA members also serve in leadership positions on Virginia boards, commissions and councils e.g. Joint Leadership Council and in other veterans' organizations such as American Legion, Military Order of Purple Heart etc The VCOC works at the state level to further the goals of national MOAA and the local chapters.
The VCOC meets quarterly, usually at or near Fort Lee. A Chapter "VCOC Rep" is designated by each affiliated chapter. The chapter President, VCOC Rep, Legislative rep, Auxiliary Liaison and other interested members of Virginia chapters of MOAA are all welcome at VCOC meetings or events.
The VCOC holds two important legislative events each year: "Storming the state capitol" (or "Day at the Virginia General Assembly") in Richmond in January and a luncheon with Virginia's 13 member congressional delegation in March or April.
The VCOC publishes a quarterly newsletter, titled The Council Crier. The electronic version is posted on this website.
If you have questions about the VCOC or a local chapter, please contact an individual on the contact list.

ABOUT THE WEBSITE:
This website was first established in January 2006, using a Network Solutions hosting package (paid for by the VCOC) to create and host the website. Labor is all volunteer. Format Design was changed in January 2008. Password Protected portions added January 2009. Web coordinator (not a master) is Maj Melva Mallison, USAF, Ret, from 2006 - 2009. Network solutions package up for renewal early January 2010. So, if somebody else wants to be Web master and use a different hosting package, let the VCOC Board know by the last quarter of 2009.
