President’s Message

 

The Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States (EANGUS) hosted its 55th National Conference in Daytona Beach, Florida from 31 July through 3 August, 2026. The Great State of Alabama and the Enlisted National Guard Association of Alabama (ENGAA) was represented by 37 members of ENGAA, including Traditional Guardsmen, Active Guard and Reserve (AGR), 8 highly motivated Professional Development Junior Enlisted, retirees and auxiliary members.

Our state association has increased its membership and currently have 700 active members as of 1 August 2026.

I am proud of the commitment and faithful service of the men and women that serve in the Alabama National Guard, and I am proud of our active members of ENGAA – who constantly display incredible support to our association, Family members, and industry partners.

ENGAA will host our next council meeting, which is open to all members, on Monday, 17 August 2026 at 11:00am at the Alabama National Guard Headquarters, Classroom 177. If you are interested in attending our meeting, please RSVP with your full name and contactnumber to president@engaa.org.

We need your continued support, engagement and ideas – and look forward to hearing from you.

ENGAA is Your Association, so don’t hesitate to participate!

We look forward to your attendance.

Thank you for being an ENGAA Member

Johnathan Wilson, ENGAA President
