FAMILY MATTERS w/Carey Crance, AFSA International Family Matters Trustee | HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND!

Thank you, Division 3, for inviting me to your convention last week. It was great to see many of your members, even if it was online. Hopefully, I will see you all in person soon. During their convention, we spoke about a lot concerning our families. One of the items we touched on was childcare.
Access to childcare is impacting members across all forces. Division 3’s newly elected Vice President put together a survey to gather data on the issues our members are facing. My ask is this: please take a moment and fill out the survey. Share the survey as you see fit. The more data we have as an association, the better informed we can be.

FAMILY MATTERS w/Carey Crance AFSA International Family Matters Trustee | Happy Friday AFSA Fam! Especially to all of my fellow military spouses. Today is your day. Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day! Yes, you need to be celebrated. You’ve had to bend and flex with all of the changes your military member has had to go through, too. From finding new homes, new providers, and possibly new friends. There is a lot.

I still have people asking, “How does AFSA help military spouses?” Here’s how AFSA is worldwide. Wherever your service member goes, there is likely an AFSA chapter nearby. AFSA has many professional development opportunities not just for the service member but for YOU, the spouse. Don’t believe me? Check out Summit 365, and you’ll see the wealth of knowledge being shared there. AFSA is at the forefront of advocating for our military spouses and families, from healthcare to education to employment, AFSA is there.

With all of that said, I want to take a moment and say thank you to ALL of my fellow military spouses. I see you. You are doing a great job. As always, if there is something I can help you with, PLEASE reach out.

The secret weapon of the 2026 workforce isn’t a new AI tool. It’s the military spouse.

While everyone is talking about “agility” and “resilience” as buzzwords, military spouses have been living them for years.

Moving every 2–4 years? That’s project management on steroids.
Handling a household solo during deployments? That’s crisis leadership in action.
Building a new network from scratch in every new zip code? That’s master-level business development.

Their lived experience isn’t just a background: it’s a competitive advantage. At The Summit 365, we believe that when we empower spouses with professional development, we’re not just supporting a family; we’re fueling the future of the workforce.

They aren't just “tagging along.” They are the MVPs.

HISTORY
AFSA was founded in 1961 by four U.S. Air Force non-commissioned officers who recognized the need for an organization to represent the voice of personnel to America’s elected and military leaders. Over the past five decades, AFSA has built a reputation as a stalwart advocate for U.S. Air Force members and their families. AFSA represents its members by advocating for its members’ interests, ensuring the military and veteran benefits its members earned through their service to the nation are maintained. As a federally chartered Veteran Service Organization, AFSA is endorsed by U.S. Congress to represent military personnel and their families on Capitol Hill.
