December 2024 Membership Update
The Department membership count as of 1 December 2024 is 731 members, down 3 from the 1 November 24 count, due to a combination of attrition and transfers. The present count by branch of service is:
Army-455
Air Force-135
Navy-66
Coast Guard-34
USPHS-26
Marine Corps-14
NOAA-1
As of 1 December 2024, the Department has 68 members living out of state. My first goal is to obtain "Consent to Transfer" authorizations from each of these members in order to transfer each of these members to the ROA Department that has responsibility for the states in which they now live. Of the 68 members living out of state, 12 have no email addresses. This goal may take a while to accomplish.
My second goal is to obtain missing email addresses from in-state members who have email addresses missing from their ROA database profiles. While time consuming, this task is entirely necessary in order to stay touch with these members on a regular basis.
