My name is Carl Hoecker, a leadership-oriented and values-driven professional. I have built a career based on principles of fairness, humility, and balance, consistently achieving results through systematic improvement of operational efficiency within the organizations I've had the privilege to work with. I consider myself a lifelong learner, continuously growing and cultivating my knowledge to enable better performance and to foster a positive work culture rooted in integrity.

VGA
Virginia State Director of the Veteran's Golf Association
Carl Hoecker is the Virginia State Director of the Veteran's Golf Association (VGA). As a dedicated advocate for enriching the lives of Veterans and their family members through the camaraderie and sportsmanship of golf, Carl plays an essential role in furthering the organization's mission.
The Mission of the VGA
The primary goal of the VGA is to enhance the lives of Veterans and their family members by fostering camaraderie and sportsmanship through the game of golf. With over 450 local tournaments held across the country each year, the organization's events culminate in the highly anticipated VGA National Championship held in the fall.
More Than Just a Sports Program for Veterans
The VGA strives to develop programs that allow its members to compete, socialize, and stay physically active through the world of golf. By hosting local league play, regional tournaments, and national qualifiers, the organization reinforces values such as integrity, respect, and perseverance. In addition, the VGA offers family-oriented activities aimed at boosting quality time for Veterans and their families and promoting active participation in their communities.
The Inspiration Behind the VGA
The concept of the Veteran Golfers Association emerged from a group of Wounded Veterans at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, DC. These friends would regularly meet to play golf in the area, motivating each other to improve their skills and heal through camaraderie and competition. After recovering from their injuries and relocating around the country, they missed the chance to compete against each other regularly.
Recognizing similar situations for other Veterans, these friends came together in 2014 to establish the Veteran Golfers Association, the first golfing organization explicitly promoting the game to all Veterans and their family members.
The VGA is committed to creating golfing programs that keep Veterans, their family members, and children engaged with the sport of golf for years to come. Under the leadership of Carl Hoecker as the Virginia State Director, the organization will continue to thrive and make a positive impact on the lives of Veterans and their families.
