Get Involved Become a Unit Representative • We recommend that unit representatives be a junior enlisted service member. – Frees up the senior personnel from additional responsibilities – Allows lower enlisted to feel a part of something bigger. – More impactful for the younger service members to hear information about our Association from their peers. • Unit Representatives are responsible for all Association business, i.e. collecting dues, keeping unit apprised of State and National Association news, etc.
