Last month, Officers of the Massachusetts National Guard attended the annual TAG OPD (The Adjutant General's Officer Professional Development) meeting. During this, General Gary Keefe spoke to Soldiers and Airmen on the importance of our organization - The National Guard Association of Massachusetts.

The focus on the discussion was to explain how we, NGAMA, are able to bring about change to not only our own state of Massachusetts, but also nationwide.

Our Officers in The Massachusetts National Guard are able to enact real change within our organization and policy, with the help of NGAMA. Soldiers learned how they could submit their thoughts and make recommendations on policies that may affect Massachusetts Guardsmen, and even on the national scale.

To learn more about the Tag OPD and what it offered to Soldiers, follow the link below to read The Minuteman's "Final Word" - where CPT David Schwab discusses in depth the benefits of this event partnered with NGAMA.
