AFDICA Providing Resource Information for Federal Employees
The AFDICA is a non-profit organization comprised of former employees of the FDIC and the RTC that seeks to provide fellowship, education and charity in its’ activities. It is also committed to the fundamental principles of diversity, inclusion, and non-discrimination and to providing support and information to former colleagues. We are aware that current and former FDIC employees are struggling with the uncertainties brought on by the hiring freeze and job terminations being implemented by the current U.S. administration. To provide critical information to affected FDIC employees and alumni, AFDICA will be providing links and other helpful information on this site. This will be a working website which will continue to be updated as new information becomes available. If you come across any information that you think should be added to this website, please send it to [email protected].

Some members of Congress also share information on their website that is helpful to employees that have been laid off. Here you will also find links to websites from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia that contain information on resources available for federal employees impacted by recent layoffs. Several counties in Maryland and Virginia that are offering resources have also created websites.

AFDICA Background
AFDICA was founded in 2016 as a non-profit 501(c) (3) tax exempt charitable organization, incorporated in the state of Delaware. Its mission is to provide an opportunity for FDIC Alumni to gather for social events and through educational outreach activities, to assist the FDIC in expanding the MoneySmart Financial Literacy program through the use of alumni volunteers. We will also engage our membership to support a variety of charitable causes. In addition, we will provide the FDIC with an opportunity to connect with members of the AFDICA in the event of a financial crises or, to provide assistance on matters of divisional or agency strategic importance.
Being a Member of AFDICA will provide you with a portal to connect with former colleagues and friends with whom you may have lost contact. We sincerely hope you will become a member of AFDICA and will enjoy the benefits of joining a common community of fellowship.
As the organization grows and we are able to identify geographic areas of alumni concentration, we hope to leverage that information into a thoughtful strategic plan that will support our membership in their efforts to conduct local charitable fundraising events, social events like golf, picnics, dinners and theater outings. We will hold our next annual meeting with our AFDICA membership in the fall and plan to have various regional social events in the interim.
Please examine the By-Laws on this website. A great deal of thought and effort has gone into creating the Association of FDIC Alumni, Inc. We welcome alumni, no matter what position, division, or grade held while working for the FDIC, to assist in the leadership of this organization.
The First AFDICA Board of Directors election was held on October 2, 2017. Elections for Board members and officers occur annually in October. We invite those of you who would like to donate your time, energy and effort to help lead and grow this organization, to contact us at i[email protected]
Together, we have an opportunity to do great things.
