MCA Launches New Spouses Program during Albany, Georgia Event
Posted on: March 22,2024Quantico, Virginia – March 22, 2024 – The Marine Corps Association successfully hosted the first “Behind the Camouflage Spouse Summit” in Albany, Georgia on March 14th, 2024, near Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany. This event marked a significant effort by the Marine Corps Association to foster camaraderie, support, and connectedness among Marine Corps spouses, while also providing valuable resources and networking opportunities.
The Behind the Camouflage Spouse Summit aimed to bridge the gap between Marine Corps spouses and their base and community resources. Held at the Merry Acres Inn, the event provided an inviting atmosphere for spouses to engage with one another and gain valuable insights into the Marine Corps community.
Attendees were treated to a catered luncheon, where they had the opportunity to connect and share experiences. The highlight of the summit was a panel of subject matter experts who provided valuable information and guidance on various aspects of military life, including family support, healthcare, and community support.
In addition to the panel discussions, spouses had the chance to interact with vendors from both the local community and Marine Corps Community Services. This allowed attendees to explore a wide range of resources and services available to them, enhancing their overall well-being and support network.
The Behind the Camouflage Spouse Summit in Albany is part of a larger initiative by the Marine Corps Association to host similar events across different Marine Corps installations. This year, additional summits are planned at Camp Lejeune, NC and in the National Capital Region, further expanding the reach and impact of these valuable gatherings.
“We are thrilled to have hosted the Behind the Camouflage Spouse Summit in Albany, Georgia,” said Marta Sullivan, Director of Engagement and Expositions at the Marine Corps Association. “These events are fantastic way for spouses to come together, find much needed support, and help one another thrive.
