A Welcome Letter from Tidewater AFCEA's President, Colonel Arthur G. Hatcher Jr.
Dear Visitor,
Thank you for linking to us on line. Here at the Tidewater Chapter, we are always pleased to make new friends and members, so I hope your time with our site will be enjoyable and professionally rewarding.
The members of Tidewater are people growing in professional development from the local region. We’re ordinary men and women who represent government, industry, and military professionals in the fields of information technology, communications, and intelligence. The material on this site will give you a further sense of our mission and the many special events hosted by the chapter, as well as, the history of the Tidewater Chapter. We hope you find it attractive and inviting.
Founded in 1946, AFCEA’s roots trace back to the American Civil War. AFCEA, a non-profit international association, is dedicated to supporting global security by providing an ethical environment that encourages a close cooperative relationship among civil government agencies, the military, and industry.
As you have occasion, please join us at any of our regularly scheduled membership luncheons or at any one of our special events through out the year. If you are an active part of your own chapter, you know how important professional relationships can be. We invite you to join us and expand our “network” as often as your schedule permits.
