Mid-Year Meeting Highlights AFA's Strategic Vision

From July 22-25, 2024, AFA’s leadership convened in Utah for the annual Mid-Year Meeting. Despite travel disruptions, a committed group gathered in Salt Lake City to preview the FENCETECH 2025 venue, review current initiatives, and start refining AFA’s strategic plan.

Past Presidents Sam Williams, Rand Ward, and Phillip Doyle led a volunteer onboarding session, focusing on AFA’s culture, history, and governance. Legal and risk management advisors shared insights on creating a safe and engaging member experience.

Executive Director Michael Reed guided discussions on industry trends and opportunities in education, government relations, and membership engagement. The Chapter Presidents Committee explored enhancing chapter experiences to foster pride and connection among members.

As AFA transitions into a busy fall season, the insights from the Mid-Year Meeting will shape upcoming events and initiatives, ensuring continued growth and member engagement.
