MOAA received top international honors in the 2020 MarCom Awards competition, receiving two Platinum, three Gold, and four Honorable Mention awards.

Each year, the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP) reviews thousands of entries to select the world’s best work in communications.

MOAA’s Military Officer magazine received several awards. The association’s digital efforts, to include The MOAA Newsletter, MOAA.org, and social media engagement, also earned recognition.

“We are honored with this top recognition for both our print and digital efforts to inform and engage,” said MOAA President & CEO Lt. Gen. Dana T. Atkins, USAF (Ret). “Our goal remains to keep providing insightful and important content for our members.” 

Awards are given on three levels, based on the judges’ scores.
