AFA in Action
A Message from the President
January 31, 2026
Friends,
With less than a month to go before our 2026 Warfare Symposium in Aurora, Colo., we’re nearing final approach. We’ve lined up 140 speakers (see the full agenda here) and nearly 200 exhibitors, and we sure hope to see you there. If you’re not registered yet, there’s still time. Register now, and tell a friend!
This is shaping up to be a busy year! We had planned to host dozens of AFA Field leaders at our national headquarters this week to share plans for heritage events, advocacy, membership changes, and more. But the weather had other plans. We switched our Board meeting and Field Leader Summit to virtual sessions due to the enormous storm that swept across the nation. And yet we still got quite a lot accomplished. We will soon roll out a number of new initiatives and opportunities for volunteers like you to get involved.
Thank you to all AFA members—whether at a Chapter, an Air Force or Space Force Base, or somewhere in between. Your involvement is appreciated on every level.
Let’s make a difference!
Lt. Gen. Burt Field, USAF (Ret.)
President & CEO
