The AUSA Annual Meeting is just two weeks away, and it’s not too late to book your flights to Washington D.C.! The Association of the United States Army is a non-profit  organization dedicated to providing education and developmental support for America’s Army. 

According to their website, their mission is:

The Association of the United States Army is a nonprofit educational and professional development association serving America’s Total Army, our Soldiers, Army civilians, and their families; our industry partners, and supporters of a strong national defense. AUSA provides a voice for the Army, supports the Soldier, and honors those who have served in order to advance the security of the nation.

• AUSA educates its members, the public, industry, and Congress about the critical nature of land warfare and the Army’s central role in national defense.

• AUSA informs its members, our communities, and Congress about issues affecting America’s Army and the Soldiers who serve in the Regular Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve.

• AUSA connects the Army to the American people at the national, regional, and chapter levels.

Each October, more than 30,000 guests head to Washington D.C. for their annual meeting. The 2019 Annual Meeting, coined as the “Army’s most powerful event” features three days of presentations on the State-of-the-Army, panel discussions and seminars on pertinent military and national security subjects, and a variety of valuable networking events available to all that attend. 

There are also a number of family-specific programs put on throughout the conference by the AUSA Family Readiness team, making this a great event for Army spouses and families, too!
