In order to make sure that we have all the information needed to add your event to the AFIO calendar and mentioned in the WIN, a form has been created to streamline the process. We will be transitioning away from accepting events sent through email and will start pointing you to the form. The link to the form will always be available on the Chapter page (if you are logged in).
The finishing touches are being put on the Intelligencer before it is ready to be mailed. In order to ensure you receive a copy, please check your Member Profile and verify we have the right mailing address for you. If you have any questions or issues making any updates, email us at afio@afio.com.
