Review for Association Of Graduates Of The United States Military Academy, West Point, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

There's no time like a Crisis to see an organization at it's best (or worst). The West Point AOG has done an incredible job over the years supporting graduates as well as cadets, but over the past few months, WPAOG has really stepped up and made a difference.

I've seen other non-profits grind to a halt, freeze, or just not do anything since COVID struck our nation. Not so with WPAOG. The entire staff and leadership immediately focused on how best to continue services in the new normal and where they might help with new demands. The "Gripping Hands" initiative to reach out to older alumni is a great example. The WPAOG sent messages through several different media early in the crisis and offered to help graduates in need. In my own city, we had a couple that was hit extremely hard by COVID due to an on-going illness that further isolated the couple from social and medical services. Thankfully, the staff contacted our local graduate society and put us in touch with the couple. In turn, we mobilized volunteers within our area to visit the couple, link them up with social services, and help with some critical services.

WPAOG is World Class!
