Air Force Association... Enid, OK

AIR FORCE ASSOCIATION

The Air Force Association (AFA) is an independent, nonprofit, civilian education organization promoting public understanding of aerospace power and the pivotal role it plays in the security of the nation. AFA publishes Air Force Magazine, conducts national symposia and disseminates information through outreach programs. It sponsors professional development seminars and recognizes excellence in the education and aerospace fields through national awards programs. AFA presents scholarships and grants to Air Force active duty, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve members and their dependents; and awards educator grants to promote science and math education at the elementary and secondary school level.

                                         MISSION  

The Air Force Association educates the public about the critical role of aerospace power in the defense of our nation; advocates aerospace power and a strong national defense; and supports the United States Air Force, the Air Force Family and aerospace education.

                                        ORGANIZATION

AFA is led by volunteer leaders at the national, state and local levels. AFA's state organizations and more than 230 chapters hold elections and conduct programs to increase public understanding of key national security issues in their communities. Programs range from luncheon and dinner activities to symposia and legislative roundtables with Congressional leaders.

              ENID AFA

Enid AFA is very active in the local community!  Today Enid has the largest membership of AFA Community Partners anywhere in the Country.  Because of this oustanding community support, AFA has been able to develop/support such great programs such as Camp Tomahawk (a two-week program for underpriviledged children), the annual Vance-Enid Golf Tournament at Oakwood Country Club, Enlisted Appreciation Night, donation of the "Pioneers" Statue, as well as many other programs.  Over the years, Enid AFA has awarded tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships to local youths.  In 2009 Enid AFA is scheduled to award over $8,000 in scholarships to local high school and college students thanks to the support of our Community Partners.
