๐ Start Your Engines! ๐
The road to Daytona officially begins June 1 as EANGUS launches the โRace to Daytonaโ Membership Drive โ a nationwide effort designed to grow the Association, strengthen our collective voice, and fuel the future of EANGUS.
Running from June 1 through the opening of the EANGUS National Conference in Daytona Beach, the campaign challenges State Associations and Areas across the country to recruit new members and compete for top honors.
For every new EANGUS member recruited during the campaign period, a State Association earns one โlapโ in the race toward the finish line.
Joining the race is simple. New members can visit eangus.org/join, select their home state, and join their State Association.
Competing for the Checkered Flag
At the EANGUS National Conference, awards will recognize the top-performing organizations:
- ๐ 2026 EANGUS Membership Champion โ awarded to the State Association with the most laps.
- ๐ 2026 Area Membership Cup Champion โ awarded to the Area (Areas 1โ7) with the highest combined total of laps.
Why Membership Matters
Membership is the fuel that powers EANGUS.
The strength of our membership directly impacts our ability to advocate for National Guard members, retirees, veterans, and military families at both the state and federal levels. A larger membership gives EANGUS a stronger voice with lawmakers, military leaders, corporate partners, and allied organizations as we continue fighting for benefits, readiness, quality of life, and the future of the National Guard.
Every new member strengthens our mission.
Every recruit expands our influence.
Every lap moves us closer to victory.
More than just a competition, the Race to Daytona is an opportunity to grow the Association, strengthen State Associations, and demonstrate the power of the enlisted force across all 54 states and territories.
So fire up your engines, rally your teams, and letโs race to Daytona!
Every member counts.
Every lap matters.
