Partner with Other Associations for Increased Exposure by Aberdeen Chapter
Bring together all the local associations for one big event.
This allows exposure of AFCEA to members of other
associations who may have not had the chance to participate
in the AFCEA community. Aberdeen does this by working with
AAAA, AUSA, SCRA and FA Assn at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

Last-Minute Speaker Cancellations by At-Large Chapter
When a speaker cancels at the last minute, and they are not
expected or able to send a deputy or representative from
their office, the Chapter should have a list of backup
speakers prepared ahead of time to avoid Board members having
to find a last minute replacement. Board members should
network to find local retired general officers with canned
speeches who can serve as backup speakers. A final backup
plan is to hold a free membership meeting.

Retaining Active-Duty Attendance When Events are Held Off-Base by At-Large Chapter
When events become too large to hold on a base, some ideas
on how to retain active duty attendance were brainstormed as
follows:
¿Provide shuttle buses between the event venue and the base
¿Request the speaker to advertise to his employees
¿Ensure the CIO designates the event acceptable to attend,
and designates the venue as the workplace for the day
¿Advertise the event as a professional development event
¿Have a sponsorship program with half the chairs on those
tables free for active military attendees
¿Invite the CIO, CTO etc. to speak and encourage their
employees to attend
¿Create an award for military and civilian government and
present it at chapter events (Middle Georgia Chapter is
already doing this)
¿Extend a discounted rate to retired military in the area
not currently employed by large companies

Working with Exposition Contractors by Vandenberg-Central Coast Chapter
Worked out a deal with a tech expo contractor to provide a
donation back to our AFCEA chapter from the next tech expo.
I had done this at my last base, and recently finalized an
agreement to get money per exhibitor. Min work for the
chapter, we get a tech expo, and we get money into our
scholarship fund.
