SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES National Guard Association of the United States 138th General Conference & Exhibition September 9-12, 2016 Baltimore Convention Center Baltimore, Maryland
ABOUT NGAUS The National Guard Association of the United States is the nation s oldest military association lobbying solely for the benefit of the National Guard and educating the public about the Guard s role / history in the Armed Forces of the U. S. It was formed by militia officers in 1878 to obtain better equipment and training by petitioning Congress for more resources. To maintain the highest state of readiness, the National Guard needs a strong voice in Washington, D.C., to ensure the Guard has sufficient resources and budget to carry out its mission. NGAUS is that voice, seeking modern equipment, training, missions and personnel benefits in support of over 470,000 men and women currently serving in the Army and Air National Guard, as well as their families, employers and Guard retirees. NGAUS is dedicated to educating the public, through our partnership with the National Guard Educational Foundation, about our service to the nation through various outreach programs, publications, and support of a museum / research library dedicated to the preservation of the Guard s history.
