Committee Module and Near Real Time Report
MOAA’s Committee Module (CM) database allows council and chapter presidents and membership chairs the ability to track, update, and pull reports of their membership and leadership rosters. The Near Real Time Report (NRT) within the CM offers a roster of prospective members for chapter recruitment purposes. It is updated as individuals join MOAA national or move into a chapter’s catchment area, provided their contact preferences allow the sharing of their contact information. If a MOAA member changes existing preferences to allow chapter contact, they will also appear in the report. Questions regarding access should be directed to chapters@moaa.org.
