Welcome Message from Chapter President

Welcome to the Halifax Area Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America.

Our chapter is proud to bring together a community of leaders who continue their commitment to service beyond the uniform. We meet on the fourth Thursday of each month (excluding June, July, and August) for a luncheon at the Halifax River Yacht Club in Daytona Beach, where members enjoy engaging speakers from the military, local community, business sector, and health and wellness fields.

Our mission is to support veterans and their families through active engagement at the local, state, and national levels. We advocate for policies that protect earned benefits—including pay, healthcare, family support programs, and employment opportunities—particularly for officers and their spouses transitioning into our community.

Beyond advocacy, we are deeply committed to service. Our members actively support local initiatives such as monthly events at Emory L. Bennett State Veterans’ Nursing Home and the Daytona Beach VA Clinic, reinforcing our presence and impact throughout the region.

What truly sets our chapter apart is the camaraderie and shared experience of service. The bonds formed through military life continue here—through fellowship, volunteerism, and a shared desire to make a difference.

If you are a current or former commissioned officer, or the spouse of one, we invite you to join us and become part of a chapter that values connection, purpose, and continued service.

Never Stop Serving

Anita A. Williams, CDR, USCGR
