Annual U.S. NCVA Reunions

The U.S. Naval Cryptologic Veterans Association holds an annual reunion, usually in the spring around May. These gatherings are normally entirely social in nature and terminate on the evening of the final full-day with a dinner/dance.

In some instances, other groups—such as the U.S. Submarine Veterans Association (USSVI)—might hold their reunion in conjunction with ours for economies of scale.

Site Selection

The Site Selection Coordinator ensures that the reunions are regionally rotated among three U.S. regions: East, Central, and West. During the annual General Membership Meeting, members select the site to be held three years in the future. Thus, at a reunion in the West region, members vote for the next Western site for the reunion three years hence.

Schedule

A General Membership Meeting is conducted on morning of the final full-day of each reunion. During this meeting:

• A senior active duty officer addresses the members on the status of the U.S. Navy cryptologic community.
• The Association presents the active and reserve cryptologic award winners.
• Members elect officers.
• The membership selects the future reunion site.
• Association officers present reports covering activities of the past year.

Usually about 90% of U.S. NCVA members at the reunion attend this meeting.
