Chapter Members
Chapters are located throughout the United States and vary in their level of activity. All members need to have joined the AFIO-NATIONAL Association and remain current with that membership before they become eligible for local chapter memberships. Many members join the AFIO-NATIONAL regardless of the presence or absence of a chapter since chapters are active or moribund often based on the enthusiastic drive of one or two local members. New members are always encouraged to become one of those active local or national members!
AFIO members play roles of leadership and distinction, dedicated to the principles and objectives of US Intelligence goals for the benefit of our country. They currently serve, or have served, in the CIA, NSA, FBI, DIA, DNI, DHS, Military Services or Law Enforcement at Federal, State or Local levels. Are you such an individual?
For those who did not actively serve in the intelligence field, but are currently working in corporations or in a wide variety of private professions, or those in the general public who are strong advocates of a rigorous US Intelligence Community, membership is available with sponsorship by a current AFIO member. Current or former intelligence officials and intelligence-focused reporters, academicians, researchers and members of the general public, who are citizens of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia or New Zealand, may join AFIO as “UKUSA” members. Those who do not fall into any of these categories, or who wish to refrain from formal membership, may instead subscribe to AFIO publications.
