The Voice of the Reserve Component
in California and Nevada

We operate where other organizations cannot, serving as a trusted advocate for Reserve and National Guard service members--officers, enlisted, families--at every level of government. With its unequaled credibility on America’s Reserve Components, ROA is a powerful advocate in Congress, the Pentagon and VA, and policymaker offices throughout Washington. ROA leads the nation’s efforts to ensure the Reserve Components are strong and ready, and Reserve Component families are well cared for.


A Message from the President
I invite you to our Department of Golden West April 25 - 26 meeting in San Diego! This is a great opportunity for our members to gather to discuss current Reserve and National Guard issues. This is where we determine how our department and you will advocate to Congress, the Pentagon, and the Veterans Administration. Where we will formulate how to inform and network with the policymakers throughout California and Nevada.

This is an opportunity to work with your chapters and the department EXCOM so we can work together and provide National with any resolutions that affect the Department of Golden West. This is how we advocate for our members and the Service Members that serve in California and Nevada.

I highly recommend that you personally contact individual members in your chapter and service sections to ensure that we have a quorum and can make necessary changes for us to continue as a department. I have provided the April meeting and hotel information below, and I have also provided the national email list to all department members.
