Columbus Chapter
Letter from the President…
Dear fellow USNA alumni:
Welcome to the Columbus Chapter of the United States Naval Academy Alumni Association. The Chapter, as well the Columbus area, is vibrant and growing. The best way to engage with other Chapter members and stay current on Chapter news and activities is to join the Columbus Chapter group of myUSNA.com. We also frequently post to the Chapter Facebook page.
To provide the most worthwhile experience for local alumni, the Columbus Chapter leadership will focus on the following objectives:
• Providing ample and diverse opportunities for alumni and their families to socialize, network, and have fun;
• Leveraging local Military and Air Force Academy organizations to enhance the overall experience of our members;
• Supporting and interacting with Navy entities such as visiting Navy sports teams/clubs, the local Naval Academy Parent Club, and the Columbus Navy League;
• Hosting an enjoyable and engaging Army-Navy football event; and
• Communicating effectively and consistently with local alumni.
