The overriding goal of AFTEA is to support a national defense that will protect the security of the United States.
AFTEA represents the interests of members of the Uniformed Services in Congress, at the White House, the Veterans Administration, and the Department of Defense. We educate the public and members of Congress about the Uniformed Services and their most important asset, its people.
We monitor proposed legislation, and we lobby and educate members of Congress and Pentagon officials on behalf of our members. We give voice to our members’ concerns about military pay, health care, pension and disability, survivor benefits, education, housing, childcare, and other quality-of-life programs.
As an AFTEA member, you’ll have access to valuable benefits information advice, money-saving products and services, plus a team of legislative professionals fighting for your rights. You also will have the opportunity to network and make connections to aid your personal and professional life.
AFTEA offers its members some of the very best insurance plans available, including TRICARE insurance supplements and outstanding buys in term life insurance. For more information on TRICARE Supplement plans call 1-800-808-4514.
As an AFTEA member, you’ll have access to competitive credit cards and special rates on CDs and money market accounts – plus a special MilitaryPerks card for savings on everyday purchases.
We represent the interests of the military community (active duty, retired, guard/reserve, family members, and survivors) through testimony before Congress and personal contact with elected officials, congressional staffers, and representatives of the Department of Defense and other executive branch agencies.
AFTEA’s bimonthly newsletter offers diverse feature articles and reports on legislation, financial issues, second-career opportunities, current military affairs, military history, travel, and health/fitness.
