Online Judging Tool for Scholarships by Atlanta Chapter

To maximize participation in judging our chapter¿s scholarship applications, AFCEA-Atlanta built a tool on the chapter¿s portal for viewing and submitting judging scores. Judges were provided with the username and password to access the tool. Once in the tool, judges could view each application package and then submit their judging sheet, including their name and then rank ordering the top 8 nominations. This enabled a large group of judges (approx 15-20) to grade the applications when convenient for them and without the challenges of providing judging packages via hardcopy or email as well as protecting the privacy data in these packages. This approach has worked out very well for our chapter.

Courses for Industry Members by Atlanta Chapter

In 2005-2006, AFCEA-Atlanta recognized a need to educate industry partners on working with the military. The chapter created a Vice President, Education to concentrate on initiating free programs and making the arrangements needed to serve its membership in this arena. The program has continued and expanded during the four years since its inception. Programs have included Army/government contracting, DoD 101, introduction to AFCEA for new members, as well as technical classes such as data center design and computer/internet security. Most, but not all, of the instructors are volunteers from the Chapter¿s membership. The classes last an hour and are generally held prior to the monthly luncheons. They have been a big draw for small business in the Atlanta area and have resulted in a large increase in our corporate membership.

Expand Your Board of Directors by Atlanta Chapter

To encourage active participation in our chapter, the Atlanta chapter encourages members interested in becoming more active in our chapter to join our board of directors. Currently our board of directors includes 38 members, almost 10 percent of our membership. This provides fresh ideas to our chapter leadership, volunteers to lead or assist in various events and builds our core of active members. In addition, these members also get the added benefit of a chapter position, which earns them praise from their employers and good resume material too. It¿s a win-win for all.
