What Does This Committee Do?

The Membership Engagement Committee is dedicated to building strong connections
with Flight Attendants, ensuring they feel welcomed and valued in our Union from their
first day and throughout their careers. Our mission is to empower every Member by
keeping them informed, engaged, and actively involved. We aim to inspire Flight
Attendants to take an active role in shaping their experience as AFA Members and
prepare them for additional responsibilities within our Union.
