Outgoing Board Chairman Looks Ahead for MOAA
By: Tony Lombardo
October 19, 2026
When Gen. Thomas D. Waldhauser, USMC (Ret), became MOAA's chairman, he set out to make the association "stronger and more meaningful" for its members and the entire uniformed services community.
As Waldhauser's two-year term comes to a close, he sat down to reflect on his tenure, the association's recent big moves, and the priorities that will help position MOAA for its next century of service.
Q: Looking backon the past two years, what do you see as a highlight for the association?
A: During the past two years, we have tried to have the board focus on the long term. As we get close to our 100-year anniversary in 2029, we thought it was important to make sure whatever decisions we make in conjunction with the MOAA team would set the organization on the pathway for the next 100 years.
From a long-term strategic perspective, we looked at governance. We looked at our revenue and expenditures, and we looked at membership. I know the team has worked to provide technology as well. And this all falls under the category of relevant programs for our vast and diverse membership.
Q: What was a highlight for you personally?
A: We were able as a board to work very closely and directly, in a strategic sense, with our President and CEO General Kelly and the staff. That was something we wanted to emphasize during my time as the chairman.
Q: You mentioned the importance of long-term strategy. TotalForce+ has played a huge role in this.
A: Right. TotalForce+ was the manifestation of a vision General Kelly had. And working with his staff, General Kelly was able to bring this vision to fruition for the first time in 2025.
TotalForce+ was designed to fill a gap for all servicemembers and families with regards to personnel issues that ran the gamut for everything from VA care to education to pay. It was really designed to be a unique event, which got at a niche that had never really been dealt with before.
Now, TotalForce+ is something that is not just one time a year. This past year, General Kelly and the staff have held roundtables that kept TotalForce+ on the radar screen for all those out there.
We're going to have our second event here in February, and this continues to expand in scope and scale, and the excitement around this event from vendors and participants and presenters really is remarkable.
Q: You've also provided oversight and guidance for MOAA Charities over the years. What changes have you seen there, and how do you see this tying into MOAA's future?
A: The charities are just a classic example of the good that MOAA does, not only for officers but for everyone in the services, to include the scholarships and the Crisis Relief Program, which has grown and become sustainable as well.
I'm confident going forward, MOAA Charities will continue to grow and continue to expand and be relevant to our membership.
Q: What would you say MOAA members can do today to support the association?
A: The members can support the association by simply continuing to serve. What's our motto? Never Stop Serving. Our members never stop serving through the actions they do at the local level with the councils and chapters in their communities. They are the face of MOAA.
Q: How do you view MOAA's advocacy at the national level?
A: Our stature on Capitol Hill continues to grow, especially with members of Congress and their staff. They reach out when there's tough issues and discussions that need to take place with regards to benefits or potential legislation. They always seek out MOAA because MOAA has a trusted relationship.
That's been a big help at the national level for us. We've been awarded top lobbyist by The Hill 19 years in a row. That doesn't happen by accident. That's a result of some very, very hard work, including the councils and chapters who support our efforts during our annual Advocacy in Action event on Capitol Hill.
Q: Any final thoughts?
A: As a chairman, your goal is to make the organization better than when you arrived, and that's what we try to do here. And I think over my past six years on the board, the last two as chairman, we have helped set the organization on a course to be viable for the next 100 years.

Single-Family Starts Down as Affordability Challenges Persist
Oct 20, 2026
Single-family housing starts declined in September as builders faced higher financing and building material costs and ongoing labor shortages.
Overall housing starts decreased 5.2% in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.22 million units, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau.
The September reading of 1.22 million starts is thenumber of housing units builders would begin if development kept this pace for the next 12 months. Within this overall number, single-family starts decreased 4.6% to an 859,000 seasonally adjusted annual rate and are up 2.6% compared to September 2025. The multifamily sector, which includes apartment buildings and condos, decreased 6.7% to an annualized 362,000 pace and are down 24.9% compared to September 2025.
"Housing starts declined in September as high mortgage rates, persistent affordability challenges and rising construction costs held back home building," said Bill Owens, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder and remodeler from Worthington, Ohio. "High land, labor and construction costs are eroding builder confidence. A sustained increase in home building is key to long-term affordability, but near-term construction depends on mortgage rates, financing conditions and efforts to ease regulatory barriers."
"Declining housing starts reflect the high borrowing costs and affordability challenges builders face, consistent with our recent builder surveys," said Danushka Nanayakkara-Skillington, NAHB's assistant vice president for forecasting and analysis. "September's single-family starts data align with our forecast of lower production in 2026, with further declines expected in 2027 as rates stay elevated and material costs rise."
On a regional and year-to-date basis, combined single-family and multifamily starts were 8.3% higher in the Northeast, 2% lower in the Midwest, 0.3% lower in the South and 6.3% lower in the West.
Overall permits decreased 0.2% to a 1.40-million-unit annualized rate in September. Single-family permits decreased 4% to an 845,000-unit rate and are down 4.8% compared to September 2025. Multifamily permits increased 6.1% to an annualized 555,000 pace and are down 0.2% compared to September 2025.
Looking at regional permit data on a year-to-date basis, permits were 10.6% higher in the Northeast, 2.2% higher in the Midwest and 3.2% lower in the South. The West saw no change.

NWTF Alabama Allocates $431,256 for Conservation, Access, Research and More
October 20, 2026
EDGEFIELD, S.C. -- The Alabama State Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation recently met in Auburn to review project proposals for the 2027 fiscal year. The board allocated $152,232 for conservation projects, $40,424 for wild turkey research, $95,000 toward the NWTF's Habitat for the Hatch Initiative, $88,000 for access projects and $55,600 for hunting heritage projects, includingoutreach and education events, chapter scholarships and more.
"NWTF staff and our conservation partners are thankful for the talented volunteers who generate these funds to continue our mission in Alabama," said Ricky Lackey, NWTF district biologist. "The projects that are funded for 2027 will greatly impact the wild turkey and also provide more public hunting opportunities for outdoorsmen and women throughout the state."
The Super Fund is a funding model through which NWTF volunteers raise money at banquets and other fundraisers, allocating a significant portion of those funds back into meaningful conservation and outreach projects in their respective states and beyond.
NWTF funding will be matched with $878,446 in partner or grant funds for the approved projects for the 2027 fiscal year, representing a more than $1.3 million total investment for the year.
Between prescribed burning, invasive species removal and other habitat management efforts supported by equipment purchases, the NWTF and its partners in Alabama are conservatively expecting to impact over 250,000 acres of habitat within the state in 2027.
The NWTF's $88,000 contribution for access is being used to help the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources purchase two large tracts of land, about 8,229 acres total, which will become part of the agency's wildlife management area and special opportunity area system.
The state chapter is also helping fund two wild turkey research projects through its 2027 funding allocations, one at Auburn and one at the University of Alabama. The former is examining the effects of baiting on wild turkey ecology and if there are any subsequent predator implications. The UA study is being conducted on the Oakmulgee Ranger District of Talladega National Forest. The project seeks to better understand how prescribed fire influences wild turkey use in the forest. These data will also support the long-term goal of combining high-resolution LiDAR measurements of forest conditions with GPS tracking data from wild turkeys to better understand how turkey behavior relates to habitat structure and composition.
In addition, the Alabama NWTF State Chapter also earmarked $95,000 to be used for conservation projects across the Southeast, as part of the NWTF's Habitat for the Hatch Initiative, an effort designed to create essential nesting habitat in close proximity to quality brood range. This initiative seeks to create 1 million acres that fit these specific criteria by 2033.

About the National Wild Turkey Federation
Since 1973, the National Wild Turkey Federation has invested over half a billion dollars into wildlife conservation and has positively impacted over 25 million acres of critical wildlife habitat. Since 2022, the NWTF has also invested over $2.7 million in critical wild turkey research that, when leveraged with partner contributions, has resulted in more than $25 million to guide the management of the wild turkey and to ensure sustainable populations. The organization continues to deliver its mission by working across boundaries on a landscape scale to create healthy forests and wildlife habitats, clean and abundant water, resilient communities and robust recreational opportunities. With the help of its dedicated members, partners and staff, the NWTF is committed to creating a nation united by the life-changing power of the outdoors.

The American Bus Association (ABA) announces that Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Administrator Derek Barrs will serve as a keynote speaker at ABA Marketplace 2027, taking place Feb. 6-9 in Calgary, Alberta.
Barrs will participate in a full slate ofprogramming on Sunday, Feb. 7, giving ABA members and industry leaders several opportunities to engage directly with the nation's top motor carrier safety official.
He will begin the day with remarks to ABA's Bus Industry Safety Council, followed by a panel discussion with the National Bus Traffic Association focused on issues affecting passenger transportation on both sides of the border. Barrs will then join ABA's CEO Roundtable for a discussion with industry executives before addressing the full conference of approximately 2,500 attendees during the All-Delegate Lunch at 12:15 p.m.
"Safety isn't just a priority for bus operators. It's the foundation of every tour and every travel experience. It matters to the company transporting passengers, the tour operator planning the itinerary, and the destination welcoming visitors," said Fred Ferguson, President and CEO of the ABA. "By bringing Administrator Barrs and transportation leaders together with the broader travel industry at Marketplace, we're making safety a shared priority. When we work together to protect travelers and strengthen public confidence, the entire travel and tourism industry benefits."
Barrs, whom the U.S. Senate confirmed as FMCSA Administrator in October 2025, brings decades of experience in law enforcement and commercial motor vehicle safety. Since taking office, he has emphasized communication, outreach, education, and targeted enforcement, as well as the importance of engaging motorcoach operators early in the policymaking process and incorporating real-world operational experience.
His participation in Calgary builds on an ongoing dialogue between FMCSA, ABA, and the motorcoach industry. Barrs met directly with operators and ABA leaders at Marketplace 2026 in Reno and later addressed safety and operations professionals at ABA's 2026 Summer Summit.
The expanded program reflects ABA's mission to unite bus operators and their partners to create a thriving, connected, and informed group travel industry. It also advances key priorities in ABA's 2026-2028 strategic plan, including stronger federal advocacy, best-in-class safety and operational resources, meaningful professional development, and a renewed focus on the needs of bus operators.
Bringing Barrs together with both U.S. and Canadian transportation leaders in Calgary further reinforces Marketplace as the industry's central forum for business, leadership, advocacy, and connection--and underscores the importance of continued cross-border cooperation to the future of motorcoach and group travel.
ABA Marketplace 2027 will be held Feb. 6-9 at the BMO Centre in Calgary. Sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities are still available.

President Donald Trump announced on Monday night that the U.S. Department of Agriculture will create the Harvest Fuel Relief program. The $8 billion program will be designed to provide farmers with assistance to help mitigate the high cost of inputs, including diesel fuel. In response to the announcement, National Corn Growers Association President Matt Frostic released thefollowing statement.
"We appreciate the administration recognizing how the high cost of inputs, especially diesel fuel prices during harvest time, is adding to the economic pain of America's farmers. Corn growers are eager to learn more details about the Harvest Fuel Relief program design and implementation for the 2026 crop year.
"As we work to tackle the many economic challenges facing growers and rural communities, we urge Washington to focus on durable, bipartisan, long-term solutions that will result in lasting improvements to the farm and national economy. Such solutions include passing legislation that will allow for the year-round sale of E15, renewing the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, taking actions to improve access to new markets for U.S. farmers, like maritime and sustainable aviation fuel, and passing a robust farm bill. We will continue to work with Congress and the administration to get these priorities over the finish line this year."
The Harvest Fuel Relief program will be administered by the Farm Service Agency. USDA has indicated that commodity specific payment rates will be released in November and pre-filled applications will be available in January 2027.

Experts Available: Lung Cancer Screening - Who Should Be Screened and What About People Who Never Smoked?
Following Pope Leo XIV's lung cancer diagnosis, American College of Surgeons experts explain screening guidelines, risk factors, and the importance of early detection
October 20, 2026
CHICAGO -- Pope Leo XIV's recent lung cancer diagnosis is raising questions about who is at risk for the disease, particularly among people who have never smoked. As Lung Cancer Awareness Monthapproaches in November, experts with the American College of Surgeons (ACS) are available for media interviews to discuss current screening recommendations, risk factors beyond smoking, and how early detection can save lives.
The 71-year-old pontiff underwent surgery on October 13 to remove the lower lobe of his right lung after doctors discovered a nodule that was confirmed to be lung adenocarcinoma, a common type of lung cancer.
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, accounting for approximately one in five cancer deaths. Although smoking is the leading risk factor, lung cancer can also develop in people who have never smoked. Understanding personal risk and when to seek medical advice is an important part of detecting the disease early, when treatment is more likely to be successful.
Who Should Be Screened for Lung Cancer?
Lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans can detect cancer before symptoms appear, when it is often easier to treat and potentially cure. However, screening remains significantly underused among eligible Americans.
Current U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines recommend annual lung cancer screening for adults ages 50 to 80 who have at least a 20-pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years. The American Cancer Society recommends screening for adults ages 50 to 80 with the same smoking history, regardless of when they quit.
A pack-year measures how much a person has smoked over time. For example, smoking one pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years, or two packs a day for 10 years, equals 20 pack-years.
"Lung cancer screening is the most powerful tool to reduce deaths from lung cancer to happen in my lifetime," said Daniel J. Boffa, MD, MBA, FACS, chair of the ACS Commission on Cancer and a thoracic surgeon at Yale University, in a previous ACS news release. "Screening with a CT scan, which takes just a few minutes, allows cancer to be found at an earlier stage, when treatments are easier on patients and more likely to cure patients."
What Should People Who Have Never Smoked Know About Lung Cancer Risk?
Although smoking causes most lung cancers, an estimated 10% to 20% of lung cancer cases occur in people who have never smoked.
Other risk factors include exposure to secondhand smoke, radon, asbestos, and air pollution, as well as a personal or family history of lung cancer. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate inside homes, is a particularly important environmental risk factor.
Current U.S. screening recommendations do not include routine low-dose CT screening for people who have never smoked, even if they have other risk factors. However, people concerned about their risk should speak with a healthcare professional about their individual health history, environmental exposures, and whether further evaluation is appropriate.
Experts also recommend testing homes for radon, avoiding secondhand smoke and other harmful exposures when possible, and paying attention to symptoms such as a persistent cough, coughing up blood, unexplained weight loss, or ongoing chest pain.
"If a patient is concerned about lung cancer due to environmental exposure or has family members they are concerned about, they should talk to their primary care doctor and discuss these concerns," said Luis Armando Godoy, MD, FACS, a thoracic surgeon at UC Davis Health, in a previous ACS news release.
Early Detection and Advances in Surgery Offer Hope
When lung cancer is found at an early stage, surgery can offer patients a chance for a cure. Advances in minimally invasive techniques, including video-assisted and robotic-assisted surgery, have made it possible for many patients to undergo lung cancer surgery with less postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays.
An April 2026 article in the ACS Bulletin (https://www.facs.org/for-medical-professionals/news-publications/news-and-articles/bulletin/2026/april-2026-volume-111-issue-4/timely-surgery-for-early-stage-lung-cancer-matters/) also highlighted the importance of timely treatment, noting that longer delays between diagnosis and surgery for early-stage lung cancer have been associated with worse survival outcomes.
"The future has never looked brighter for people with lung cancer both because we are finding ways to catch it earlier and research has brought us game-changing treatments," Dr. Boffa said in a recent ACS expert alert.
ACS experts can also discuss what happens when a suspicious lung nodule is found, how doctors determine whether surgery is appropriate, and what patients can generally expect during recovery.
Additional information is available through the ACS Lung Cancer Awareness resources for journalists (https://www.facs.org/media-center/resources-for-journalists/lung-cancer-awareness/).
Journalists may email pressinquiry@facs.org to schedule an interview with an ACS expert.
