AFSA Chapter 161 to host monthly meeting July 28
Airmen, Guardians, civilian employees and retirees are invited to attend the Air Force Sergeants Association Chapter 161 monthly meeting July 28 at noon in the Minuteman Commons. The chapter meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month to discuss legislative initiatives affecting Air Force members and their families, upcoming chapter events and other association business.

Founded in 1961, the Air Force Sergeants Association advocates for quality-of-life issues on behalf of military members and their families. Local chapter members stay informed on national legislative priorities and opportunities to support those efforts.

Current AFSA members are eligible to vote on chapter business and hold elected positions. Individuals interested in joining the association, renewing a membership or transferring an existing membership are encouraged to attend. Chapter 161 is also seeking volunteers to fill trustee positions for social media and legislative affairs.
