On behalf of the members of the National Guard Association of Connecticut (NGACT), I would like to invite you to become a 2025 Corporate Member of our organization. We are the professional association of the Connecticut National Guard and also serve as the local arm of the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) and Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States (EANGUS), both of which advocate the interests of our nation’s defense and Connecticut’s Citizen-Soldiers. NGACT was founded in 1994 as a combined Officer and Enlisted organization to represent active and retired members of the Connecticut Army and Air National Guard. NGACT provides a means to express the wishes of its many members. In the past, it has proven its value through improved benefits, modern facilities, and better equipment. NGACT offers individual and family benefits such as group life insurance, scholarships, and sponsorship of National Guard events such as send-off and welcome-home celebrations. United in pride, patriotism, and vigilance, our members collectively uphold the strength of America. By joining forces, we achieve what no individual could alone, providing a unified voice that ensures the Connecticut Army and Air National Guard remains prepared and equipped to defend our freedom. The National Guard offers the most cost-effective alternative for the defense dollar but is facing potential critical shortfalls in defense operating funds in the coming years. During these challenging times for the Guard and our country, we need your membership more than ever to help us ensure the readiness of our National Guard forces is not compromised and remain as strong as possible. The following pages list our suggested levels of membership and associated benefits. NGACT is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)19 of the Internal Revenue Code, and donor contributions to the organization may be tax deductible (consult your tax advisor). We look forward to working with you to reach our common goal of a stronger national defense. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to contact Mr. Daniel DePasquale, our Corporate Membership Chairperson at [email protected] or (860) 334-5136. We hope that we can count on your continued support!

The National Guard Association of Connecticut, in conjunction with the Connecticut Military Department, will host a military ball on Saturday, March 20th, 2027, to recognize and celebrate service to our great state and country. The theme of the ball will be “Salute to Troops,” to honor not only those who served, but their families, friends and the communities who support them. We invite your organization to be a part of the community who can make this event a reality in the upcoming year. The Connecticut Military Department is deeply connected within and throughout our communities, which benefits both the community and our members. Through this event, we hope to bring together all of those who support our service members to honor their collective service with a night of comradery, dining, and dancing.
