ROA Leaders,
As part of ROA’s Centennial Celebration, we have launched two new initiatives: a writing contest and a Member of the Week feature.
As part of ROA’s Centennial celebration, ROA is conducting a professional writing contest.
The winning articles will be published in Reserve Voice Magazine in the spring of 2022 and on ROA’s social media. Selection will be based on overall excellence, knowledge and support of the topic, significant and effective original thought, accuracy and completeness, adherence to high writing standards, and clarity, insight and respect for the audience.
Topic: ROA was formed in 1922, and in 1950 received its charter from Congress establishing ROA’s purpose to “. . . support and promote the development and execution of a military policy for the United States that will provide adequate national security.” Explain what that phrase means to you, if you think the reserve components do that adequately now, and how they can contribute in the future.
Applications are due no later than January 15, 2022. The online submission form and contest information are at www.roa.org/page/
Each week during the centennial, ROA will highlight a “Member of the Week.” Selected members will be featured on ROA’s website and social media. These “Members of the Week” will be the personal face of ROA as we enter our second century of service to America.
Visit ROA’s website at www.roa.org/page/MemberofWeek to submit yourself or a fellow member to be highlighted as a Member of the Week.
Use the online form to share your image, comments on why you are proud to be an ROA member, and/or how ROA has benefitted you in your military or civilian career. If you are currently serving ROA in a volunteer role, please mention that as well.
You may also nominate someone to be a Member of the Week. If you do, please be sure to provide your name and contact info in the comments.
