About AFIO-Houston Chapter
The AFIO Houston Chapter is named in honor of:
Lt. Col. William Francis Buckley
CIA Officer and American Hero
Killed in the Line of Duty, 1985
We are mindful and appreciative of his sacrifice
And grateful for his life of service and honor.
AFIO-Houston is a rapidly growing chapter whose members include distinguished members of the Intelligence Community, political leaders, as well as area business and civic leaders.
The chapter was formed about 20 years ago by the late CIA Officer Fred Redell. After a period of inactivity, we have renewed our mission under the leadership of AFIO-Houston President Roland V. Carnaby and his team (see the "Officers" page for more info).
The Association For Intelligence Officers (AFIO) Houston Chapter (AFIO-HOUSTON) formerly known as the Association of Former Intelligence Officers, was incorporated in 2006 as a 501(c)3 non-profit, non-political, educational association for current and former intelligence professionals and supporters of the US intelligence community. The Association’s Chapter is based in Houston, Texas.
AFIO-HOUSTON chapter officers and its members are united and strive to adopt and support fully the mission and goals of the AFIO-NATIONAL.
AFIO’s mission is to build a public constituency for a sound, healthy and capable US intelligence system. Our focus on education fosters an understanding of the important role of intelligence in National Security and nurtures student’s interests in careers in the many fields used by US Intelligence Agencies. This includes the role of supporting intelligence activities in US policy, diplomacy, strategy, security and defense.
In addition, AFIO focuses on understanding the critical need for effective counterintelligence and security against foreign, political, technological or economic espionage, as well as covert, clandestine and overt counter-terrorist or criminal operations threatening US security, the national infrastructure or corporate and individual safety.
AFIO’s mission has special significance in today’s international diplomatic and business environments.
