The Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO), formerly known as the Association of Retired Intelligence Officers is a non-profit, non-partisan advocacy organization founded in 1975 by David Atlee Phillips with help from Gordon McLendon to counter widespread criticism of the United States intelligence community coming from the media and Congress. It is registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity and sees its primary mission as educational. The AFIO claims that it has 5,000 members in 24 active chapters, most of whom are not former or current intelligence officers; it is not, in fact, necessary to be an actual intelligence officer to be a member of AFIO.
