National Guard Association of Kansas

Message from the President

The National Guard Association of Kansas (NGAKS) supports Kansas Guardsmen in domestic and tactical missions for the Governor and Commander-in-Chief. While NGAKS is the official Officers’ association, our advocacy serves the entire Kansas Guard family—Officers and Enlisted, Army and Air, Active and Traditional, Retired, and their families.
We achieve this through:

• Legislative Advocacy: A unified voice in Topeka and D.C. fighting for Dual Status Technician status reform, modernized equipment, and benefits that are comparable to our active-duty service members.
• Professional Development: Engaging growth focused on networking and essential skills for the future warfighter. We prepare leaders for the evolving tactical landscape.
• Family & Retiree Support: Beyond State Sponsored Life Insurance (SSLI), we offer critical resources like access to scholarships and will preparation while supporting families through transitions.

National Guard Association of Kansas NGAKS has a proud 37-year tradition of maintaining over 900 members—help us reach 38 years. If you aren’t a member, visit the NGAKS Membership page today above. Never been a member? That is okay; we offer a one-year complimentary membership at zero cost to get you started.
