Legislative Issues

Our Georgia Mountain Chapter supports the MOAA national legislative agenda. We regularly invite our Federal, State, and local elected representatives to speak to the chapter. Additionally, we invite a broad spectrum of local law enforcement and civic leaders as well as leaders of commercial development to address our membership. The chapter is also very active in supporting the state and various other military and veterans' groups and individuals.
