AFSUPCOM Communications

The National and Regional Chairs are tasked with meeting with AAF-1 and their Regional Division Managers respectively, on a quarterly basis to provide updated field perspective and elevate field issues. The charter of AFSUPCOM is primarily as a communications organization from the field to high level FAA officials. However, the communications role of SUPCOM has been expanded to provide vital information to the field organizations as quickly as possible. AFSUPCOM holds monthly national telcons. Current up-to-date information is shared on the national telcons concerning issues of interest to field supervisors. Subject matter experts from national offices often join the telcons to provide clear late breaking news. AFSUPCOM is represented on many national teams, and a responsibility that comes with membership is to provide briefings concerning team progress on the monthly telcons. AFSUPCOM has developed an extensive communications network utilizing both voice and data transmission. Today AFSUPCOM can provide information to all levels of the organization, sometimes within hours.

AFSUPCOM Organization

As established in FAA Order 1110.104, AF field supervisors can communicate issues and concerns through the AFSUPCOM organization directly to key officials in FAA. The AFSUPCOM organization has a three-tiered structure. Each Systems Management Office (SMO) has SUPCOM representatives; the SMO representatives attend the regional meetings and elect a Regional Executive Board. The Regional Executive Board is comprised of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Executive Board Member, and the Regional Past Chair. Each regional Chair and Vice-Chair attend the national conference and form the National AFSUPCOM Committee. The National Executive Board members are elected from the national committee. The officers are the Chair, Vice-Chair, Board Member, and National Past Chair.
