We are an all volunteer organization that consists primarily of judges, lawyers, mental health professionals, researchers, members of the business community and professional lobbyists. Because we are a non-membership organization is not to say that you cannot be a spokesperson for AFC, but spokespersons are brought in by invitation only, pursuant to a request for authorization and ratification of requests for authorization of spokespersons, which are authorized by a quorum of the Directors.
