AFCEA News – National Volunteer Month 

As we begin National Volunteer Month, held every April, I would like to take the opportunity to honor our phenomenal AFCEA volunteers. At both the chapter and international levels, we rely on our volunteers to help us reach our goals and serve the global security community. 

Chapter officers, event volunteers, committee members and more: thank you so much for your time, expertise and support in fulfilling AFCEA’s mission as THE association for professionals in the IT, cyber, intelligence and global security communities who want to serve those who serve. 

Best wishes,
