CAPITAL CHAPTER (WASHINGTON, DC)

The Capital Chapter has recently been resurrected after it's entire executive board PCSed the Summer/Fall of 2003. The following members make up the new Capital Chapter executive board: Lt Col Ann Isaacs-President; Lt Col Algene Fryer-Vice President; Lt Col Marcus Novak-Information Officer; Lt Col Marilyn Peppers-Citizen-Treasurer; Lt Col Nancy Combs-Activities Officer; Maj Steve Dutschmann- Membership Officer; Capt Tammie Nottestad-Scholarship/Awards Officer. Our Local Chapter Advisor is Brig Gen Art Morrill, Directorate of Resources, Deputy Chief of Staff, Installations & Logistics, Pentagon. There are a total of 272 Logistics Officers in the National Capital Region, to include approximately 7 core Logistics General Officers. Our chapter is actively engaging with our membership in many ways. We conduct general membership meetings every other month (6 annually), rotating the membership meeting locations to the major installations (Bolling, Andrews, Ft Belvior, Pentagon) for better interface with our membership. We conduct four professional development activities a year at interesting/rewarding locations for our membership; ex. UPS distribution center, ship-yard distribution/warehousing, ship-yard maintenance. We recently visited the DC METRO heavy maintenance facility. During the first week in March we held a chapter social for our membership and interested individuals wanting to know more about LOA at a local restaurant. Our chapter sponsored the event with free food and drink...the social was a resounding success! We were fortunate to have Col Mezzacappa (LOA National President) attend and say a few words about LOA National and the 2004 national conference to be held in Las Vegas. By the time the social was over, we had 12 new members sign-up! We hope to have many of our membership at the National Conference in Las Vegas...see you there!
