In Rocket City - We go "BOOM!"
The AFCEA Huntsville Chapter fuels a powerful network spanning government, industry, and academia. Our events act as launch platforms—bringing together mission partners to ignite collaboration, exchange critical insights, and accelerate innovation in support of Redstone Arsenal’s high-velocity community, including USSPACECOM, the U.S. Army (AMC, USMDC, DEVCOM AvMC, AMCOM, PEOs, ACC-RSA), DIA MSIC, NASA MSFC, FBI, USSF SDA, and MDA.
FOCUS PILLARS:
- Industry Engagements: We provide technology luncheons and collaborative educational events that support technical CEUs.
- Professional Networking & Development: We host monthly socials and an annual membership social event where we get to introduce our group and any needs to include employment, mentorship, or hiring.
- Emerging Leaders Engagement: We host collaborative networking socials, offer scholarships, and mentorship events by engagement with local colleges, Redstone Arsenal, and industry company interns.
AFCEA Huntsville is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization - 100% giving back to our local Huntsville Community!

The support network that comes with AFCEA membership is invaluable. Our members, spanning the defense and intelligence communities, focus on cyber, AI, and emerging technologies, creating a strong network of mentors across the industry. This includes military, government, and civilian professionals on Redstone Arsenal, all contributing to leadership development and career growth. My initiative is to carry on the same amount of support that I have received from AFCEA and maintain our mission to be dependable tool for defense industry collaboration and engagements!
