Young AFCEAN Program Award

Central Maryland Chapter

The Central Maryland Chapter’s Young AFCEAN Program is vibrant, enabling much of the Chapter’s overall success. They sponsor the Bull & Oyster Roast, Technology Over Bagels Seminars, Professional Development Seminars, and Mentorship Nights. Their elected leadership team has documented their position descriptions and has shared their strategy with other Young AFCEAN Programs. The Young AFCEANs lead the Adopt-a-School program, teaching and mentoring juniors about interviewing, career planning, goal setting and communication skills.

Northern Virginia Chapter

The very active NOVA Young AFCEAN Program offers multiple opportunities for career development and provides essential support to Chapter activities and events. Monthly planning meetings, socials, professional tours, Mentor-Protégé and Career Transition nights allow the YAFCEANs to interact with peers and senior industry and government representatives. YAFCEANs act as mentors to the George Mason University (GMU) Sub-Chapter, helping students to draw upon resources in the technology community. The Program is an invaluable resource for recruiting new members, developing new leaders, and building lifelong loyalty to AFCEA.
