Board of Directors

The AFP DC Chapter is led by these volunteer board members. One of the best ways to build relationships is to volunteer alongside your colleagues in the spirit of fellowship and fun. The board is assisted by many volunteers who serve on committees. If you are interested in serving on a Committee, we'd welcome your involvement!
