National Naval Officers Association

The National Naval Officers Association (NNOA) is a professional organization that was established in 1972 to promote the interests of minority officers in the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The NNOA aims to enhance the professional development of its members and to advocate for diversity and inclusion within the naval services. The organization provides mentorship, networking opportunities, and resources to support its members in their careers and to foster leadership within the naval community.

Throughout its history, the NNOA has worked to address issues of representation and equity within the military, striving to create an environment where all officers can thrive regardless of their background. The association engages in outreach programs, educational initiatives, and partnerships with other organizations to further its mission of promoting diversity and supporting the professional growth of minority naval officers.
