  Welcome  

The West Point Society of the District of Columbia was founded in the early 1950's with a mere handful of members but with the basic structure that still exists today.  Over the years the dedicated work of many West Pointers in the Washington area has enabled the Society to become a strong organization with a comprehensive program and growing membership.  Today, it is the largest of the 120 West Point Societies worldwide.

  Our Society -

• supports the local Admissions Program with 45-50 admissions each year.

• presents the Maxwell D. Taylor Leadership Award to the top graduate in military leadership at the USMA Preparatory School at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey.

• presents annually the Castle Memorial Award and the Distinguished Member Awards

• conducts an active career advisory service to help members in job searches.

• hosts luncheons capitalizing on the availability of notable speakers in the area; hosts the annual Founders Day Dinner; hosts the Army-Navy Luncheon and Rally the Wednesday before the game with an array of distinguished speakers.

• hosts two golf tournaments each year; the Black-Gold-Gray in the Spring and the Army vs. Navy in the fall.

• provides scholarship funds to AOG for special programs.

• donates funds to USMA in support of the Cadet Clubs.

Our 2008 membership stands around 1,600, although some 4,000 USMA graduates and former cadets live in the greater Washington Metropolitan area.  The Society hopes to reach more of these potential members to encourage their participation in its significant activities.
