In this first episode in Season 2 of Airmen Helping Airmen, we meet the new CEO of the Air Force Aid Society, Kaleth Wright. Kaleth served as the 18th Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force which is the highest noncommissioned officer position. He held this role from February 2017 to August 2020, and was responsible for more than 410,000 enlisted Air Force members. He also served as the advisor to the Chief of Staff and Secretary of the Air Force on issues related to welfare, readiness, morale, and proper utilization of the enlisted force. If you are new to the Airmen Helping Airmen series, we break down the who, what, and why of the Air Force Aid Society (AFAS). #AFAS is the official charity of the United States Air Force and operates as a nonprofit organization. Through its three Programs they support the Air Force mission by providing worldwide emergency assistance to Air Force members and their families, sponsoring education assistance programs, and offering a variety of base community enhancement programs that impact member and family welfare. #AFAS operates worldwide at every major USAF installation. The Society’s programs to provide relief loans and grants are administered, in part, by the USAF Airman and Family Readiness Centers located at those bases.
