AIR FORCE ASSOCIATION (AFA)
RAZORBACK CHAPTER #262
The AFA Mission: Assuring America's Aerospace Excellence
The Air Force Association provides an organization through which we address the defense responsibilities of our nation in light of the many recent advances in aerospace technology; to advocate and support military preparedness; to educate our members and the public as to what that technology can contribute to maintain the security of the United States and the free world.
Who We Are
As you may or may not know, our chapter stretches from Ft. Smith, through Northwest Arkansas, then heads east as far as Harrison. That means communication with our members is very difficult, at best. We are trying to establish better, cost effective ways to communicate with our members. So, please contact us and let us know you found our web page by sending an email to afa262@cavern.uark.edu Please include your name, email address, and town that you live and/or work in. We look forward to hearing from you!!
We have a great slate of officers for our chapter! They are listed in Officers . We are looking forward to a great year.

Community Partner Memberships
A Community Partner (CP) is a local business that purchases a special membership to AFA (and is affiliated with our chapter). They are showing their support for AFA in the local community. The AFA Magazine subscription associated with that membership can be to a person other than that business. Often it is donated to a local library, or sent to a special friend, etc. The important part of the membership is the direct financial support that goes directly to the chapter - no one else's hands touch it! The business also receives a plaque, stickers, etc. to display and show that they support Air Force Association.
