President’s Message

Thank you for being a valuable part of our association. The Soldiers and
Airmen that serve in the Alabama National Guard, along with Families, retirees and auxiliary
members, are represented by you – the valuable members of ENGAA. Our association is the premier
professional organization that represents enlisted Alabama National Guard Members and continue to
provide valuable benefits and incentives to those who serve our great state.
There are more than 13,000 Soldiers and Airmen who are actively serving in the Alabama National
Guard, and we need your help in spreading the word about the continued benefits of being a member
of ENGAA.
I invite each of you to share the membership link with a Soldier or Airman that is not a member of
ENGAA and walk them through the easy steps of joining. The life of our association is its
membership – and the more members we have, the more influential our collective voice will be as we
pursue more benefits, incentives, and resources for our dedicated service members.
This year, ENGAA will have several vital goals to accomplish, but we will start with membership.
The initial plan is to increase our visibility as an association, increase all levels of ENGAA
participation in our decision-making process, and to increase available resources for our Soldiers
and Airmen.
Let’s start today to increase membership. The more members we gain, the more resources we will have
for our members and their families. Share this link and help someone join today: www.engaa.org
Again, thank you for your membership – and I am proud to serve alongside each of you.

Very Respectfully,
Johnathan Wilson, ENGAA President
