The Tarheel Central Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is an organization made up of retired and former officers from all Uniformed Services of the military. Our chapter is built on the foundation of fellowship, support, and the opportunity to continue serving our communities. While our service began in uniform, our commitment to service now takes new forms-helping neighbors and supporting fellow veterans in meaningful ways.

About our Chapter

Established in 1978 as a 501(c)19 organization, the Tarheel Central Chapter welcomes active, retired, reserve, and veteran officers, from Warrant Officers to Flag Officers, of the Armed Forces, NOAA, and the U.S. Public Health Service. Our members continue to play active roles in community affairs, business, professional fields, and volunteer services.

Our Service Area

Our organization serves a six-county region, which includes Surry, Yadkin, Davie, Stokes, Forsyth, and Davidson counties. We are dedicated to representing veterans from these areas on issues that matter to all veterans.

Supporting Education and Youth Leadership

The chapter supports three college ROTC programs at Wake Forest University, Salem College, and Winston-Salem State University, as well as 22 high school JROTC programs throughout our community. Each year, thanks to the generosity of our members, the chapter awards two $1,500 scholarships to college-bound graduating JROTC high school students. We also present MOAA Leadership Medals to other deserving JROTC students.

Community Involvement

Our members are proud to support several military-oriented causes, including Triad Honor Flight, Toys for Tots, the Marine Corps League Mud Run, and Wreaths Across America.

Monthly Meetings

Members, prospective members, spouses, and guests gather monthly on the second Tuesday at Salem Glen Country Club, located at 1000 Glen Day Drive in Clemmons. The dress code is business casual, and the meal cost is $25 per person, which includes coffee and tea. A cash bar is available. The evening begins with a cocktail social hour at 5:00 p.m., followed by dinner at around 6:00 p.m. Alongside camaraderie, members enjoy listening to military experiences during the 'My Story' segment and hearing from informative after-dinner guest speakers.

We invite you to learn more about our Chapter and hope you will join us as prospective members at one of our upcoming meetings.

Always Keep Serving,

Tom Miller

President, Tarheel Central Chapter MOAA
