AFA launches Association Partners Program

The Air & Space Forces Association has launched its Association Partners Program at the Air, Space & Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Maryland. The association signed memorandums of understanding with three organisations serving the Air Force and Space Force community, extending AFA membership benefits to their members and advocating on behalf of shared members.

The agreements were signed by AFA President and CEO Lt. Gen. Burt Field, USAF (Ret.), alongside leaders from each partner organisation. The programme builds on AFA Mission Membership, the no-cost tier launched in March as part of a push to reach 1 million members by 2031. Eligible members of partner organisations qualify for that tier, connecting them to more than 350,000 AFA members and chapters nationwide.

Partner organisations gain a presence at AFA conferences and in co-branded campaigns, and can direct members to AFA programmes and events. AFA said it is seeking further partners among organisations serving Active, Guard and Reserve members, veterans, cadets and ROTC programmes, military families and the defence industry.
