Armed Forces Comm. and Electronics Association - North Virginia Chapter

With over 7,000 individual and corporate members, our chapter boasts the largest membership in the AFCEA International community. Our chapter is blessed with the hometown advantage of having the Pentagon in our backyard, the Nation's Capital right next door, and the backbone of the Internet at our center.  This means that our Monthly luncheons, IT Days, breakfasts, and special events connect you with Government speakers that provide current policy and future program technology content with relevant business connections to meet your bottom-line goals.

We connect with our membership through a variety of meetings and events to enhance your experience and provide an ethical setting to connect with Government. These include our popular monthly luncheons that run September through June, featuring leading Government speakers on how information technology enables National Security and other relevant DOD topics.  We also hold larger one-day IT Day conferences featuring speakers on information technology from the Army, Navy, USMC, Air Force, DOD, and other Federal agencies.  We also provide our members with more intimate settings to connect one-on-one with Industry and Government leadership, including: Small Business Breakfasts, Annual Golf Outing, GovCon Advancement Mentoring & Engagement (GAME) Committee speaker series, and our popular Emerging Leaders social events.

Proceeds from these activities support the AFCEA NOVA chapter and our Education Fund. AFCEA NOVA is actively involved in supporting local middle schools, high schools, and universities, by giving out thousands of dollars in scholarships & educational grants annually.
