Membership
The mission of the Atlanta Commissioned Officers Association (ACOA)
is to advance the PHS Commissioned Corps by uniting and serving Corps officers
and advocating for their interests through leadership and communication. The
Atlanta Branch is the only COA branch in the state of Georgia. ACOA membership
provides you many opportunities to get involved with your local Corps community.
Some of the ACOA activities include:
- Annual Atlanta Officer's Promotion Ceremony
- Federal Fitness Day activities
- USO Christmas season volunteering (to provide refreshments to
traveling uniformed officers)
- Community service (such as Hands on Atlanta)
- Professional development seminars
- Social events
- General membership meetings on current topics of interest
- Special interest lectures and Lunch-and-Learns
To become a member, complete the
COA membership
application which can be found at on the
COA website. When prompted, insert “Atlanta” as the name of the
local branch you wish to join. The dues for the Atlanta branch
membership are $10 per year. The dues for National COA membership
vary depending on your rank and PHS status, ranging from $25 to $105
annually. All members will receive a subscription to FRONTLINE, the
National COA newsletter which is published monthly, and to The
Signal, the bimonthly ACOA newsletter.
