Active community relations programs enable commanders to enhance morale, public trust and support. 

Air Force professionals involved in the communities where they live become front-line ambassadors for the Air Force.

Through active programs, the Air Force demonstrates it is a community partner and a responsible steward of resources.

tabCivic Outreach Program 
The objective of Civic Outreach is to increase public awareness and understanding of the Air Force and Tinker's mission. We support surrounding communities in all aspects, ranging from tour requests, speaker's bureau or participation in local events. Our goal is to foster positive relations with the surrounding communities. 

Civic Outreach offers the following programs:

The Speaker's Bureau

The speaker's bureau gives Air Force people the chance to directly interact with its neighbors in the community, professional organizations, schools, businesses and civic organizations. Most organizations request speakers to talk about Tinker's mission, specific job descriptions or personal experiences in the Air Force.

Your organization may request those topics listed above or anything else you feel appropriate. We will try to match up a speaker to your specific request. If you would like to schedule a speaker for one of your organization's meetings, please email: 72ABW.PA.PubAffairs@tinker.af.mil  

Please allow at least three weeks prior to your meeting date when making a request.

To request a base tour please click on the label Base Tours to fill out the request form.
