AFA-SA Releases First Ever Wholistic Annual Report

BATTLE OF BRITAIN ‘LACE’

The Air Force Association – South Australia (AFA-SA) has recently released its 2023-24 Annual Report.

This year AFA-SA adopted a different approach to its Annual Report developing and releasing a more comprehensive Annual Report that covered the association as a whole, its achievements, what the association did in terms of its Strategic Plan on a Page and four key deliverables of camaraderie, Commemoration/Heritage, Advocacy and Assistance, membership and future aspects.

In this respect, the report is intended to be not just for members but also something that is available to key stakeholders / partners and the broader community to explain who the association is, what is does and where it is going. 

The report’s development is a significant change for the association recognising the need to be more open, professional, collegiate and communicative.

The report is now avail on our website at:  https://afasa.org.au/…/afa-sa-annual-report-2023-2024.pdf
