The Association for Enterprise Information is a non-profit association serving the needs of our members and government partners for dynamic, interactive collaboration on critical problems concerning mission, business and operational information.

AFEI provides a platform for collaboration and information exchange amongst business, government and academia on the critical enterprise information issues of today. Our members work on issues that support the important national goals of:

* Promoting the secure sharing of information amongst business, governments and citizens,

* Advancing the leveraging of national information assets for decision advantage, and

* Providing a community that evolves best practices in developing and deploying secure IT environments.

Activities

Working collaboratively, AFEI helps the community move from vision to reality. AFEI Working Groups are open to participation by those with legitimate interest in working on net-centric operations issues. The working groups activities include:

* Data Sharing and Services Strategy (DS3)

* Information Assurance (IAWG)

* Information Sharing

* Executive Forum on SOA Acquisition

* Identity Protection and Privilege Management Forum

* DCGS Industry Advisory Group

NATIONAL TRAINING & SIMULATION ASSOCIATION

Companies in the simulation, training, mission planning/rehearsal and support services industry are represented through membership in the National Training and Simulation Association (NTSA), an affiliate of NDIA since 1992.

NTSA provides the training, simulation, mission planning, related support systems and training services industries a recognized, focused, formal organization to represent and promote their business interests in the marketplace. The association provides a forum to communicate the full capability and broad characteristics of all of the elements of training systems and mission planning to include associated support services.

Founded in 1988, the association fosters communication between the train ing industry, planners and acquisition agencies regarding requirements, procurement issues and policies. An important aim of NTSA is to see that all aspects of training, mission planning and rehearsal, training services and training range requirements are highlighted as independent and important "line items" in the overall planning, programming, budgeting and acquisition process.

The International Training and Simulation Alliance (ITSA) was established to strengthen NTSA's international access and to better promote training and simulation to the international community.

The alliance is currently comprised of ETSA, the European Training & Simulation Association; KTSA in Korea; and SIAA in Australia. Expansion, especially in Asia, is expected in future years. Visit the ITSA home page at www.itsalliance.org and the ETSA home page at www.etsaweb.org.

The Modeling & Simulation Professional Certification Commission (M&SPCC), led by NTSA and composed of members from industry, academia and government, oversees the Certified Modeling & Simulation Professional (CMSP) certification program. Visit www.simprofessional.org to learn more about certification.

Mr. Richard "Rich" Bensinger, chairman of the NTSA Executive Committee, is currently the Vice President and Director of Business and Strategic Development for the Systems and Technology Solutions (STS) Business Unit of SAIC. Mr. Bensinger's principal office is in Vienna, VA, with additional offices in Huntsville, AL, and internationally in the United Kingdom and the Middle East. Mr. Bensinger supports lines of business that include systems engineering and integration, alternative energy, serious gaming, training systems development, and modeling and simulation, totaling over $800 million revenue per year. Primary customers include the US Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, DARPA, and other federal and commercial agencies and offices. Programs in Mr. Bensinger's business unit are certified at SEI CMMI Level 5 and ISO 9001:2000. Prior to his current position at SAIC, Mr. Bensinger worked as Director of Business Development for Northrop Grumman Defense Enterprise Solutions in Reading, MA and McLean, VA. Mr. Bensinger supported programs at Northrop Grumman that developed and delivered a number of both R&D and operational command and control software systems to the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Prior to employment with Northrop Grumman, Mr. Bensinger served for 25 years on active duty with the United States Air Force. His assignments included a number of joint tours, support as a Program Manager for major joint Department of Defense/Dept of Commerce/Dept of Transportation program, support for the US Space program, and specialized support to a number of highly classified national intelligence programs.

ASSOCIATION OBJECTIVES
