How much does it cost?
Single annual alumni memberships cost $45.00 per person. Associate members pay $30.00 annually.
I just aged out of the corps, how do I join the TAA?

How can I contact other alumni I have lost touch with?
Start by posting a message on the Troopers Message Center. The TAA also hosts many summer events to reconnect old friends. be there!
Are there Troopers Alumni shirts, hats or jackets available?

TAAC to request a packet of information if you are interested in purchasing a Troopers ring.
I don't live in Wyoming, how can I be involved?
The easiest way to be involved from a distance is simply to be in touch. Communicate via the Message Center or email. Perhaps you can contribute items for the web site or an article for an upcoming edition of the Long Blue Line Newsletter. Perhaps you can help by contacting the folks you marched with and get them involved, too. There is strength in numbers!
What is the TAA Committee?
