Alamo AFCEA

What Alamo AFCEA does

Alamo AFCEA is a nonprofit professional association chapter of AFCEA International, headquartered in the San Antonio/Leander, Texas area and serving the Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) defense community. The chapter provides an ethical forum for military, government, academic, and industry professionals in cyber, IT, communications, intelligence, and electronic warfare disciplines to collaborate, network, and develop professionally. The organization was established by at least 1999 and has maintained a roughly four-year presidential cadence across successive volunteer leaders, currently under President Tony Burris (since 2025).

The chapter's core offerings include a Monthly Luncheon Series, the annual four-day Alamo Cybersecurity Exposition (ACE) conference (the 2026 edition scheduled December 7-10 at JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa), Lunch-N-Learn sessions held at JBSA installations, an Emerging Leaders program for members age 40 or younger, and a library of recorded webinar presentations. Charitable programs include the Wounded Warriors Military Endowment Fund (W2MF) supporting veterans and military families, the Ron Moore Memorial Scholarship Fund, and the Alamo Education Foundation Scholarships and Grants which together distribute nearly $150,000 annually in STEM education support. The chapter was recognized with five AFCEA International awards in 2020, including the Albert J. Myer Award and the Model Chapter Program Award.

Revenue is generated through individual and corporate membership dues administered via AFCEA International with chapter affiliation, event registration fees (government and military attendees attend free; industry members $20-25; non-members $30-40), and corporate sponsorships for ACE and luncheons. The chapter is volunteer-led, professionally managed by CMP Management, and operates on YourMembership membership software. It maintains active distribution via LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, Flickr, Constant Contact newsletters, and Signal Magazine, serving a community of more than 1,200 professionals from industry, government, and academia.
