Welcome to the Tucson Chapter! Chartered on September 7th, 1993 our Chapter consists of about 85 members. Approximately half are affiliated with industry and the other half are military/civil service. We offer a variety of professional and social events with an emphasis on networking and an exchange of information and ideas in an open, ethical environment that fosters close cooperation and understanding between the military, civil service, industry and academia. We have a wide variety of programs supporting AFCEA International objectives, including a Distinguished Luncheon Speaker program where we address a wide array of technical and strategic professional development topics and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education outreach. We are an AFCEA International Internal Model Chapter and we’re especially proud of our Young AFCEANs, as we were honored to celebrate two winners in 2013 and one in 2014! We invite you to explore our site to learn more about the AFCEA International Tucson Chapter. Even more, we welcome you to become a part of one of AFCEA’s model and award-winning Chapters.
