The Company Grade Officers' Council (commonly known as the CGOC) is a national organization of US Air Force Company Grade Officers (Lieutenants and Captains). It is not an official military organization, but a council of junior grade military officers that volunteer their off-duty time to give back to the base and community and develop themselves professionally. Each base has its own local CGOC organization, which in turn falls under one of the four regional CGOCs, that are combined to form the Air Force CGOC.
These organizations can also be called Company Grade Officers' Associations or CGOAs.

Famous quotes containing the words company, grade and/or council:

We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
“Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around, and nearly every book represents what my son’s third grade teacher refers to as a “teachable moment.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of England’s Council and her Treasury,
Who lived in both, unstain’d with gold or fee,
And left them both, more in himself content.
Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
