Article I
Name
The corporation shall be known as the Air Force Public Affairs Association, Incorporated; hereinafter referred to as the Association.
The Air Force Public Affairs Association is a non-profit, veterans
organization of past and present U.S. Air Force Public Affairs, Band,
Visual Information/Combat Camera, and Broadcast professionals. Founded
as a tax-exempt veterans organization under section 501(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code, the Association was first incorporated in
Virginia in late 1993 as the Air Force Public Affairs Alumni
Association.
In June 2022, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to propose to the
association's membership the elimination of the word "Alumni" from the
association's original name. A vote of the membership in February 2023 overwhelmingly
approved the proposal.
After completion of all legal requirements, the association officially
became the Air Force Public Affairs Association (AFPAA) on September 1,
2023.
With the change, eligibility for full association membership, including
the right to vote and hold office, was expanded to now include all
currently serving uniformed and civilian members of the Air Force
assigned to Public Affairs as their primary duty.
The documents which govern AFPAA's operations include its By-Laws and their accompanying amendments as approved by the Board of Directors; the 2023 Resolutions of the Board of Directors to effect the internal structural changes needed as a result of the name change; the original 1993 Articles of Incorporation; and the 2023 Certificate of Amendment to those Articles from the Commonwealth of Virginia approving the change of the association's name. Links to those key documents, highlighted in blue, are listed below.

telecommunications link if personal attendance would constitute a
hardship. A director shall be considered present if participating in a
meeting via an audio telecommunications link.
Action required to be taken at a board of directors meeting may be taken
without a meeting, at the direction of the Chairman, if all members of
the board consider the action and each member is given the opportunity

the verbal or written consent of a majority of directors and documented
in the corporate records as a memorandum at the next board meeting.
