DAYTON-WRIGHT CHAPTER - 05/27/2020 The chapter has partnered with AFCEA International for another continuing educational program with the American Public University System to provide our members with a 60-minute webinar titled Evaluating COVID-19 Models using Intelligence Analytic Methods. During this COVID-19 crisis, leaders from the president to local school boards have had to make some very tough decisions based on available information and analysis, including a variety of models used to track and predict the severity of the outbreak. Unfortunately, many of these models have proved to be inaccurate and misleading. In this webinar, Erik Kleinsmith, associate vice president for strategic relations in Intelligence, National, Homeland and Cyber Security at American Military University, and the author of the recent book, Intelligence Operations: Understanding Data, Tools, People, and Processes, will discuss and present methods for adapting intelligence methods to more effectively evaluate these models.

CZECH CHAPTER - 05/01/2020
Recently, the traditional world has changed dramatically and very quickly. The conditions for the activities of the association have also changed. Emergencies, quarantines and other measures do not allow for the organization of traditional events. Governments and entire societies are justifiably focused on saving lives and supporting people on the front line. We also must adapt to survive and offer members and partners with services that match tradition, knowledge and capabilities. Modern companies are already dependent on information and communications technology (ICT), and now are even more reliant (working from home, video conferencing, reliance on advanced technologies, technologies in the healthcare sector, etc.). Unfortunately, this dependence carries a number of risks. We must be more cautious, knowledgeable and prepared. We need to work together and help people and institutions for whom ICT is needed, but not as a core business. Examples of best practices include chapter ac ... READ MORE

TURKIYE CHAPTER - 04/19/2020
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is looking for a little relief and even a bit of fun. In April, chapters were challenged with an AFCEA word search. The first chapter to scan and email a correctly completed sheet back to Sean McGowan, director of member and chapter Services, would receive five free individual memberships to give away to junior enlisted military or Young AFCEANs. The winner of the incentive-based challenge was Turkiye! "I am so happy to hear that [we won]," said Murat Dogen, chapter representative for the Young AFCEANs. "This really made my day. Although it is not for my benefit, it was very fun to solve the puzzle and feel like I was in a race against time. The board members of the Turkiye Chapter will take the necessary action to add five more members into the AFCEA community. Thanks again for giving us this opportunity."

ALAMO CHAPTER - 04/17/2020
Despite social distancing restrictions and the devastation brought on by COVID-19, the chapter was still able to bring a bit of light and love to a few local San Antonio nonprofit organizations. The chapter's Wounded Warrior and Military Families (W2MF) Endowment Fund was established to provide financial assistance for wounded warriors, veterans and military families through community-based programs and outreach assistance and is the only one of its kind in the world. "The emerging changes happening right now has really put a stress on many people and organizations," explained Brig. Gen. Jeff Kendall , USAF (Ret.), chapter vice president of veteran support and military family outreach. The W2MF committee was able to successfully pivot to meet the growing needs of the community due to the spread of the coronavirus. Three organizations were recently granted $10,000 each to support their programs. The Warriors Heart Sober Living Program is a post-rehabilitation program that provides an ... READ MORE
