Jimmy Doolittle—use annual company revenue to determine eligibility. Review the current tier criteria and dues with AFA’s Corporate Relations team.

Before you get started
Is a Community Partnership the same as individual AFA membership?
Community Partnership is a business membership connected to a local chapter. If you are joining as an individual, start with AFA’s free and paid membership options instead.
Compare individual membershipsDoes a partnership automatically include every conference or sponsorship benefit?
Check the specific package with AFA. Corporate Membership, event registration, and sponsorship opportunities have different terms; confirm the included registrations, recognition, and any additional costs before making a commitment.
