History

AAFA-TX is a chapter of the national organization, AAFA, founded in 1953 and located in Washington, DC. A grass-roots organization, AAFA-TX is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of physicians and other medical professionals, educators, business professionals and citizens of diverse cultures and economic status throughout Texas. Our financial support comes through grants, donations, memorials and memberships.
