AFSA Membership Information

Founded in 1961, the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) legislates, advocates and educates America’s elected, military and community leaders in support of the quality of life for our 100,000 military members and their families.  AFSA continues to work long and hard to ensure the many benefit reductions being proposed are minimized or nullified. And, your membership will continue to pay dividends in terms of fair and equitable pay increases, retirement programs, educational benefits, and affordable and available health care.

We are the protectors of those who protect us. While we can never truly repay the debt owed to our current and past military heroes, it is our responsibility to share, advocate, educate and continually fight for the promised care, benefits and services on behalf of our brave active duty, retired and veteran members, and their families. We invite you to join us in our mission.

Our mission is to advocate improved quality of life and economic fairness that will support the well-being of all enlisted military personnel and their families. 
​
​As a federally-chartered Veterans’ Service Organization, we are one of the few military associations able to lobby and provide face-to-face representation with our Nation’s Congressional and Military Leaders on Capitol Hill, and within the DoD and VA.  When Congress wants the enlisted point of view, they ask AFSA.

 Our Legislative Priorities are specifically focused on issues that affect all enlisted corps and their families. We regularly meet with members of Congress and armed forces senior leaders to advocate for fair and equitable benefits including: current benefit protection, pay raises, commissary/exchange funding, educational and employment opportunities for military spouses, education and tuition assistance, adequate healthcare services, TRICARE benefits and reimbursements, COLA adjustments,  transition programs, care for survivors, POW/MIAs, and enhanced Veterans services.

We are AFSA - Stronger Together - Join AFSA now!

125 LOCAL CHAPTERS
The heartbeat and grass-roots of the Association, AFSA Chapters carry out our mission and strategic goals at the community level. The Chapter - with supporting services from its Division Leadership, and the International Headquarters - actively pursues the Association's goals by providing a wide range of services, programs, recruiting initiatives and more.

AFSA Chapters are field extensions of the international organization of AFSA. The governing body of the chapter, the Executive Council, is an all-volunteer elected body composed of a President, Vice President and at least three elected or appointed trustees. These officials conduct the day-to-day affairs of the chapter, plan, organize and implement the chapter's activities including its extensive legislative program, account and budget for association funds provided by international or raised locally, recommend members to the Division for recognition and meet the established field operations reporting requirements.

“Taking care of our own” is not just a slogan with AFSA members; it is a core value. ​AFSA members “take care of their own” by participating in the AFSA International Charities Programs. The charities consist of programs to which members and non-members can donate funds to help enhance the quality of life for enlisted Airmen and their families and to maintain the Airmen Memorial Building “monument” that stands as a tribute to Airmen of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
