About Us
About
The Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) is a federally-chartered, Veterans’ Service Organization representing the professional and personal interests of our members, Total Forces and their families. AFSA is 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. The members are organized in 125 chapters throughout the world. The chapters provide professional development, opportunities for community involvement and a strong sense of fraternalism.
Our History
AFSA was founded in 1961 by four U.S. Air Force non-commissioned officers who recognized the need for an organization to represent the voice of all enlisted personnel to America’s elected and military leaders. Over the past five decades, AFSA has built a reputation as a stalwart advocate for U.S. Air Force enlisted members and their families. AFSA represents its members by advocating for its members’ interests, ensuring the military and veteran benefits its members earned through their service to the nation are maintained. As a federally chartered Veteran Service Organization, AFSA is endorsed by U.S. Congress to represent military personnel and their families on Capitol Hill.
