The Lord Fairfax Silver Chapter serves USAWOA members in the National Capitol Region. The chapter adheres to the USAWOA principles of "Professionalism, Representation, and Recognition" for the benefit of active Army, National Guard, Army Reserve, retired and former Army warrant officers and families. The designation "Silver" indicates that the Chapter has been in continuous existence since the USAWOA founding.

 

Regular Monthly Meetings, third Thursday of the month at the Kingstowne Library (corner of Telegraph Road and Beulah Road) starting at 1700 hours.  Come on out and be a part of the chapter planning and camaraderie. Occasionally meetings are held at other locations.
