History of Silver Wings

Links

Silver Wings is a national, co-ed, professional organization dedicated to creating proactive, knowledgeable, and effective civic leaders through community service and education about national defense. Silver Wings is a professional, educational, service, social, and civilian organization. 

Our Objectives are:

• Personal development of individual members - local chapter activities and projects provide character growth through service to the community, which enables the individual members to develop a sense of purpose within and a responsibility to the local community. 
• Professional development of individual members - local chapter activities and the national organizational structure provide members with leadership opportunities and a chance to develop professional skills. These include communication, public speaking, and project planning and execution. 
• Civic awareness - exposure to Air Force issues and personnel enables members to develop a personal awareness of aerospace power and the role that it plays in national defense. The leadership and skills development are enhanced by opportunities for members to actively promote aerospace issues in the community through educational programs, seminars, public relations activities, and voter awareness programs.
