How It All Works
Your Voice Drives Change
-
It all starts with you. Whether you reach out to your Chapter Executive Council members or use the AFSA Legislative Action Center, your voice is the first step in shaping meaningful change.
-
Once an issue is raised, it follows a structured path:
-
Chapter Executive Council → Division President → International Board of Directors
​
Shaping the Legislative Platform
-
Every year at the AFSA International Convention, members review the proposed Legislative Platform for the upcoming fiscal year.
-
The platform is thoroughly discussed and amended as needed
-
Members vote on approval during the convention
-
Once approved, AFSA Headquarters finalizes the platform
​
Taking Your Priorities to Capitol Hill
-
After approval, the completed platform is handed to our team of lobbyists, led by Jonathan Nuttman, who:
-
Represent AFSA’s collective priorities on Capitol Hill
-
Work directly with members of Congress
-
Champion the changes that strengthen the rights, benefits, and well-being of Airmen and their families
