Young AFCEANs Raise $25,000 for STEM

In July, the chapter's Young AFCEANs held their largest event in Washington, D.C.: the ninth annual Senior Government Executive Dinner. More than 250 people participated in roundtable discussion focused on the theme of "Where do we go from here?" The Young AFCEANs raised more than $25,000 for the AFCEA Bethesda Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Scholarship Fund, benefiting education partners such as Montgomery College, the Universities at Shady Grove and the University of Maryland, College Park, to strengthen knowledge STEM. Agencies represented included the Office of Management and Budget; Environmental Protection Agency; NASA; U.S. Census Bureau; U.S. Secret Service; National Archives and Records, Social Security, Small Business and General Services administrations; Federal Communications and Federal Energy Regulatory commissions; and Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, Transportation, Agriculture, Commerce, State; and Health and Human Services departments. The chapter also welcomed new members to the Young AFCEA board management in July.
