President’s Message
The Enlisted National Guard Association of Alabama is growing! Our association is becoming more of a tangible resource for Soldiers, Airmen and their Families, including enhanced educational, employment, and professional development benefits made available for our membership.
In the spirit of growth, we are conducting a membership drive during the month of September with a goal of adding 100 New ENGAA Members!
All current ENGAA Members are asked to participate by doing one of the following:
• Ask a Soldier / Airman to JOIN: www.engaa.org
Share the benefits of ENGAA and ask for their membership. The $30.00 Auto-Renewal feature is well worth the additional benefits they receive by being active an active ENGAA member.
• Sponsor a Junior Enlisted Soldier or Airman – Seek out a junior Guardsman that is not a member and sponsor their initial cost. The sponsored Soldier/Airman should input their data into the membership application, and the sponsoring Soldier can reimburse the initial $30 cost. This serves as a direct incentive for our junior enlisted and displays our value to this organization.
ENGAA will host our next council meeting, which is open to all members, on Monday, 21 September 2026 at 11:00am at the Alabama National Guard Headquarters, Classroom 177. If you can attend our meeting, please RSVP with your full name and contact number to: president@engaa.org.
We need your continued support, engagment and ideas – and look forward to hearing from you. ENGAA is Your Association, so please participate.
Help us reach 100 New Members by September 30th!
Thank you for being an ENGAA Member!
