Our five branches embody the "Member for Life" concept as an institutionalized culture of life-cycle functions. Each branch enables the concept by mutually supporting one another to execute the department's operations. The concept begins with engaging and educating Michigan's youth for future success and continues with opportunities for volunteers to serve their country in the Michigan National Guard while remaining in their community. To fulfill the "Member for Life" concept, the MVAA serves as the critical conduit for Michigan veterans and their families as they transition through all phases of life. Together, the branches develop a broad network of resources to support every member.
