Dalton Young Named Government Liaison Board Chair for AFCEA Orlando

A leadership role in Central Florida's technology community

Dalton Young, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Desra Group, has been named Government Liaison Board Chair for AFCEA Orlando, the Orlando Chapter of AFCEA International. The role places him on the chapter's leadership board alongside officers responsible for programming, membership, corporate sponsorship, small business, STEM outreach, and emerging leaders.

What the role involves

As Government Liaison Board Chair, the focus is on maintaining an open and productive channel between government stakeholders and the chapter's members. That includes coordinating with government and military organizations across Central Florida, supporting participation in chapter programming, and helping ensure that agency priorities are represented in the conversations the chapter convenes.

AFCEA Orlando brings together professionals from government, industry, academia, and the military to exchange knowledge around technology, communications, cyber, and mission support. Central Florida's installation corridor, research park, and modeling, simulation, and training ecosystem make the chapter a meaningful venue for that exchange.
