National Elections

This year marks a pivotal moment for the United States Army Warrant Officers Association (USAWOA) as we approach our National Elections. All Region Directors, along with the National President, National Vice President, and National Secretary, will be elected by a majority vote of all members, with the results being announced at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Members (AMM) in Augusta, Georgia.

In preparation for this significant event, we are honored to have Past National President CW5 (Ret) Joe Consiglio spearheading the formation of the Nomination Committee, alongside distinguished past national officers of the USAWOA. This committee is tasked with guiding the nomination process, ensuring we identify and select potential candidates who are eager to contribute to our association's leadership roles.

Details concerning the nomination procedures, necessary forms, and submission deadlines are featured in this month's Newsliner. Under Mr. Consiglio's guidance, candidates will be assisted through the process of submitting their information for inclusion on the official USAWOA 2024 Ballot.

Our collective commitment to volunteerism is the backbone of the USAWOA, beginning at the chapter president level and extending through to our national leadership. These roles are crucial for the efficient operation, representation, and advancement of our association, proudly serving over 6,000 members. We urge everyone to engage with their chapter members and Region Directors to explore potential candidacies for these positions. Ensuring a minimum of two candidates per role is vital for providing our members the chance to evaluate qualifications and elect the most suitable representatives.

The USAWOA Nomination Form 300-2 (February 2024) and Interactive Form can be found on our website https://docs.usawoa.org/forms/forms.html.

Additionally, I encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with the duties and responsibilities of these positions, which are outlined in USAWOAM 200-2 National Bylaws https://docs.usawoa.org/bylaws/bylaws.html and USAWOAM 300-1 Operations Manual https://docs.usawoa.org/operations/operations.html.
