Since 1984, AFSA's Legislative Awareness Week program has increased member involvement in the legislative process and has helped to establish our Association as each community's leading advocate for service members past and present and their families.
This year, AFSA's Legislative Awareness Week will be taking place from October 4th to October 10th. But perhaps of greater significance, this year's Legislative Awareness Week is going to be taking a new shape! In August, AFSA was proud to present to you the first ever Virtual Professional Airmen's Conference (vPAC) and Virtual Professional and Education Development Symposium (vPEDS). Now, AFSA is proud to announce that the AFSA International Headquarters will be presenting to members the FIRST EVER Virtual Legislative Awareness Week; "vLAW" for short. While COVID-19 has altered the day-to-day lives of almost every individual worldwide, our team remains laser-focused on meeting the moment to ensure that our departmental operations are executed uninterrupted. If you have any questions as more information is made available via social media and our Military and Government Brief, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Military and Government Team at milgov3@hqafsa.org. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE THREE vLAW DRAWING WINNERS...
