News, updates, and messages from Kyle Longton, CEO of AFSPA
Welcome and thank you for visiting our site!
My name is Kyle Longton, Chief Executive Officer of AFSPA.
AFSPA’s mission is to provide unparalleled service to our unique membership. We deliver a comprehensive set of health insurance benefits and other services tailored to the needs of the Foreign Service and other Federal Executive branch employees. This mission has been evident since the establishment of our organization in 1929, when our founders set out to build an Association to ensure members of the Foreign Service get access to the care they need while serving overseas.
Over the years, we’ve opened our membership to civil service employees from the State Dept., Dept. of Defense, Dept. of Homeland Security and other agencies who work to support U.S. foreign affairs and related missions. We even expanded our benefits to include comprehensive network coverage for members living in the United States.
Today, our membership has grown to over 100,000 active and retired Federal employees and their families, where 60% of them are enjoying our benefits right here in the U.S. Please take a moment to read the archives of my monthly messages below and explore the rest of our website to learn more about all we have to offer.
To Choosing Your Health,
Kyle Longton, CAE, REBC

From the CEO
Happy New Year! Welcome to our new enrollees who chose the Foreign Service Benefit Plan (FSBP) during Open Season. You join over 33,000 colleagues and their families who entrust us with their health care.
From the CEO
As 2019 ends, I find myself reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the upcoming new year. I truly appreciate our loyal American Foreign Service Protective Association (AFSPA) members as well as the employees who provide you with your deserved unparalleled service. Our staff demonstrate a daily desire to serve AFSPA members. We hope to continue our strong relationship with you in 2020.
From the CEO
Welcome to November 2019! As the year ends, we already are planning for the upcoming year. Open Season starts this month – a great time to examine your benefits. Think about adding AFSPA’s dental coverages, life insurances, or disability plans. For stateside members, consider our Discount Care Programs to save on dental, vision, Lasik, and/or hearing aids.
From the CEO
Greetings and welcome to Fall 2019! I am pleased to announce the 2020 Premiums for the Foreign Service Benefit Plan (FSBP)
