“Voices has special and regular members. The sole special member is the military officers association of america, a related organization. Regular membership is open to all persons who share the goals, values and vision of voices.”

“Military officers association of america shall be the sole special member with the power to appoint all directors. The other class of members shall be regular members with the power to participate in the affairs of the association as specified in the bylaws.”

“The board of directors of voices and the finance and audit committee will review a copy of the 990 before it is filed.”

“Moaa conducts a four hour orientation program for all newly appointed board members. As part of this orientation, all newly appointed board members are briefed on their responsibilities as board members. This includes a briefing on their responsibilities to avoid transactions that might involve conflicts of interest. In addition, each board member is required to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire once each year to disclose any business or personal relationships that might result in a conflict of interests. The moaa general counsel personally reviews each board member's responses. The general counsel monitors matters coming before the board for action and ensures that board members with potential conflicts are recused and take no action on matters in which they have an interest. The general counsel also reviews all significant transactions and ensures board members are not involved in such matters. The general counsel reports any potential conflicts and the remedial action taken to the chairman of the board.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are made available upon request.”

“Voices for america's troops ceased operations at the end of 2019”

“Voices is a related organization of the military officers association of america (moaa), which is the nation's largest and most influential association of active duty, national guard, reserve, retired, and former military officers and their families and survivors. Moaa is an independent, nonprofit, and politically nonpartisan organization with more than 350,000 members. Membership in moaa is open to anyone who holds or has held a federal commission as a military officer or uniformed member of the u.s. Public health service or the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. Voices provides an opportunity for the general public to join an organization that supports moaa's efforts to promote a strong national defense and advocate for keeping our nation's commitment to the dedicated personnel who serve now and have served our nation in military uniform. To that end, the organizations support each other and together are able to educate a larger percentage of the population about issues affecting the uniformed services and the community of veterans in the united states.”
