Member Services Committee

Supporting our Membership Through Accurate Records.

The Member Services Committee assists Local Council officers and international office by ensuring that member information is current and accurate—including addresses, phone numbers, e‑mail addresses, status changes (leave, termination, base transfer), and other essential record updates.

Specific Duties & Responsibilities

The Committee’s responsibilities include:

  • Maintaining updated lists of members’ names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e‑mails.

  • Tracking records for leaves of absence, terminations, transfers to management or other departments, and base transfers — providing updated information to Local Council officers and the AFA‑CWA Membership Department in Washington, DC.

  • Responding to member questions regarding dues and arrears standing.

Communications Responsibilities:

  • Report all updates through the proper channels (LEC officers → MEC chair → AFA‑CWA Membership Dept.).

  • Ensure any data files or records are properly transferred when a committee member leaves the role. 

  • Adhere to AFA‑CWA and LEC policy — the Committee does not establish independent policy.

Dues Information

  • Dues are owed each month you are active or the first 3 months of an unpaid leave of absence.
  • If your dues are not deducted in full for each month you will be invoiced for the difference.
  • The deductions that occur from your 5th and 20th paychecks each month apply to the month they are deducted.  Example: You received an invoice for September $50, this means that you did not have deductions from your 9-5 & 9-20 paychecks.
  • AFA does not deduct your dues, this is done by your payroll department.
  • If you have a question about your dues:  afacwa.org/dues_questions

Example: If you receive an invoice that states you owe dues for April, you will need to review your April 5th and 20th paycheck to verify if dues were deducted.
