AFCEA International Awards Program
Albert J. Myer Award

This award, named in honor of General Albert J. Myer, one of the founding fathers of
AFCEA, recognizes chapters which excel in membership recruiting and retention. All chapters are automatically considered each year, with the winning results based on pure statistics; no
nomination or application is necessary.

To qualify, a chapter must have been chartered for at least one year prior to the evaluation period, and must have maintained the minimum number of members (25) required to retain its Chapter Charter. The period of consideration is January 1 – December 31 of two successive years.

Individual Member Recruiting awards will be presented to those chapters demonstrating the
highest percentage increase in new individual members; Individual Member Retention awards
recognize those chapters achieving the highest percentage of individual member retention; and Total Membership Growth awards will be presented to chapters with the highest net percentage growth in individual members.

The most prestigious of the Albert J. Myer Awards is the Achievement Award, which recognizes all chapters meeting or exceeding the Association's established goals for both recruiting and retention (currently 20% and 70%, respectively).

The Myer Awards are presented each year at the Joint Warfighting Conference awards luncheon.
