AFTEA MEMBERSHIP

Membership

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.

MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS

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.
