Education We want to make our meetings informative and useful. As a member, you will influence the content and direction of AFEB activities.
Participation CALS, along with many other related information technologies, is undergoing rapid technological evolution, definition, standardization, and acceptance. Regional Interest Groups, such as the HCIG, are being asked to help shape and define these directions. As a member, you can help determine these directions. Your opinions will be sought out.
Influence There is strength in numbers. A vibrant organization will have increasing influence with government, social, educational, and industry leaders. Support for positions on issues of import to you and your peers will relate to the strength of the organization.
