AMPA meaning in Governmental ?

The American Military Partner Association (AMPA) was a non-profit organization for the partners, spouses, and families of America's LGBT service members and veterans.

AMPA traced its roots to the "Campaign for Military Partners," an organization founded by the same-sex partners of service members and sponsored by Servicemembers United (SU). With the close of SU following the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT), in 2012, Stephen Peters organized AMPA into an independent non-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization in Washington, DC. Ashley Broadway, the spouse of an active duty soldier, and Jim Cassidy, the spouse of an active duty sailor, joined Stephen as founding board members.

In May 2019, AMPA merged with OutServe-SLDN to form the Modern Military Association of America — a united voice for the LGBTQ military and veteran community. MMAA carries on the missions of both AMPA and OutServe-SLDN through education, advocacy, and support for LGBTQ service members, veterans, military spouses, family members and allies.
