The flagship event for the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) is its annual Professional Airmen's Conference (PAC) and International Convention.

 

 The PAC normally convenes in the third quarter of the calendar year at a location somewhere within the 48 contiguous United States. During the PAC the AFSA conducts its general membership business. The AFSA delegates, general membership, and International Committees share invaluable information, discuss, and ratify, such things as, AFSA's Legislative Platform for the coming year and other goals and objectives.

 

 In addition to AFSA's general membership business, the AFSA is proud to host the Military Conferences.  These conferences convene simultaneously with the AFSA to discuss Air Force-specific business.  However, these separate conferences come together during professional development hours.

 

 AFSA manages these forums with coordination through many of the military conferences. Theses forums consist of keynote addresses from senior congressional decision makers, Department of Defense and Air Force senior leadership, war historians, and other professional speakers, just to name a few.  Each speaker provides a rich insight to the Air Force's past, its present and its future. Moreover, these forums continue to build on the strong solid foundation of our professional Total Air Force enlisted corps.
