Retiree Membership
Since 1924, AFSA has championed many improvements in the professional standing and quality of life for Foreign Service personnel. We are the only voice fighting to preserve and enhance federal benefits and entitlement for the Foreign Service. This membership program is for retired members of the Foreign Service, who may have served at the Department of State, USAID, FCS, FAS, APHIS, USAGM and the then-USIA. Membership is available to all Foreign Service retirees.
