What is an AFC WING?

AFC WING organizations primarily take on the most fun and exciting tasks of Angel Flight as described above. Each AFC WING will be given latitude to conduct its affairs in a manner deemed appropriate and for the benefit of its local citizens.

An AFC WING is defined as a group of at least five people within a geographic area who are dedicated to helping people in need and who commit themselves to the local, regional and national objectives of the Angel Flight program. Upon application to the AFC Board, a group of local volunteers may be granted status as an authorized WING within AFC. Once established, the WING takes on the opportunities of recruiting pilots, informing the passenger population of our service and seeking to promote Angel Flight locally. Each WING has autonomy to serve the needs of their community at the local level, however, they are asked to work with AFC towards the common organizational goals. To this end, each WING will be asked:

To elect from within its membership an individual to serve a two-year term as WING Leader. The WING Leader will participate as a voting member in the election of individuals to the AFC Board, and will be an invited guest to all AFC Board meetings. This person will also coordinate other volunteers within the WING.

• To designate volunteers within each WING who will assume responsibility for accomplishing the following tasks:
  • Pilot Recruitment and Activities
  • Passenger and Community Awareness
  • Public Relations
  • Fund-raising
• To establish a local address and local contact numbers.
• To cooperate with AFC in seeking any grants or other fund raising opportunities that may be more readily available to local entities.
• To participate in AFC sponsored activities and to adhere to AFC guidelines and procedures.
