Air Warfare Symposium
February 21-22

As reported in the last issue of Newsline, AFA will conduct its 24th Annual Air Warfare Symposium from February 21-22, 2008, at the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel in Orlando, Florida.

As an AFA leader, you are invited to attend the symposium which will be held on Thursday, February 21, from 2:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m., and on Friday, February 22, from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon, at the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel.

The standard registration fee for the symposium is $895 for non-AFA members and $795 for an AFA individual member. However, since it is important for AFA leaders to attend this national event, there is a special leader registration fee (see enclosed registration form) for AFA/AEF National Officers, Region Presidents, Directors, National Committee Members, State and Chapter Presidents. [Note: Since this is not a directed meeting, this fee is not reimbursable for AFA leaders.] The registration fee includes both symposium sessions, a sandwich lunch, a reception/buffet honoring the symposium speakers on Thursday, and a continental breakfast on Friday morning. Each AFA leader who registers at this special rate will be entitled to purchase an additional ticket to the sandwich lunch for $37 and/or the reception/buffet for $150.

Please use the enclosed registration form or register online (beginning mid-December) at www.afa.org. Click on the words "registration open" inside the Air Warfare Symposium Orlando logo. Click on AFA Leaders, Council Members, speakers and invited guests on the following page and enter the registration code 95145 to obtain the special AFA leader rate. If you have any questions regarding the symposium, please contact Katie Storm (ext. 5848) kstorm@afa.org.

We are looking forward to having a successful meeting at our new location, the Rosen Shingle Creek. Here are some highlights about the property:

The cut off date for hotel reservations is January 16, 2008. For hotel reservations, please refer to the attached form. Please do NOT contact the hotel directly. If you call the hotel directly, you will NOT obtain the special AFA rate. Please fax your hotel reservation form to Meghan McClelland (703) 247-5853. Please note that we have a limited number of hotel rooms at this reduced rate listed. Reservations for rooms will be accepted on a first-in basis. Once the hotel is sold out of rooms at the reduced rate, the next available rate will apply until the hotel has sold out of rooms at that rate or until January 16, whichever comes first. Rooms will then be on a space available basis and at a much higher rate. We encourage you not to wait but to get your reservations in now.

We hope you will plan to join us!
