The Hill, the largest-circulation newspaper on Capitol Hill, has once again included MOAA on its annual list of "Top Lobbyists." This is the eighth consecutive year MOAA has made the list.
Among the thousands of advocates in the nation’s capital, only a select few have risen to the top of their profession to earn a slot on The Hill’s Top Lobbyists list.
On MOAA President Vice Adm. Norb Ryan, USN (Ret), the Hill wrote “The retired vice admiral will continue the association’s fierce fight against the Pentagon and some lawmakers to protect troop pay and benefits from budget cuts.”
“We are again extremely proud and humbled to be recognized by The Hill,” Ryan said. “It takes a team effort from our board of directors, our entire staff, our strong chapter system, our partners, and our terrific, dedicated members that give us One Powerful Voice. We will rely even more on the entire team in the challenging months ahead.”
He continued, “Our mission is incredibly rewarding. There is no segment of the American public more deserving of our advocacy than those that wear or have worn the cloth of our nation and their families.”
