Your Representative on the Ground

Each Brigade/Formation has representatives who form part of the CAOGA Committee. Your Brigade representative is the Liaison officer in your area. He or she will keep you up to date on developments and the services provided by CAOGA. If you are retired your needs are looked after by your ARCO Representative, Lt Col Sean Scanlon (Retd).

The CAOGA Committee meet on a monthly basis to oversee the running of CAOGA, to sanction new members and to make important management decisions on your behalf.

Should you require the assistance of the CAOGA Benevolent fund, or know of a friend or colleague who may need assistance, your Brigade representative is there to offer confidential advice and assistance.
