Loyal Escorts of the Green Garter is the auxiliary society of close relatives of WMA members.  Since 1970 they have supported WMA in reaching its national goals in many ways.  They contribute an annual scholarship to further the educational goal; they sponsor and present awards to chapters for noteworthy accomplishments at each convention, thereby promoting the seven purposes as spelled out in the WMA bylaws.  Members are pledged to "aid, assist and escort WMA members in the performance of their duties as delegates to the Women Marines Association and other WMA functions."
