Our Story
Over the years, thousands of employees have served the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC). Many former colleagues have maintained friendships through informal gatherings, including a large 2013 reunion in New Orleans that reignited interest in broader alumni engagement. The 2008–2011 financial crisis was a major topic. During that crisis, FDIC rehired more than 200 retirees but faced challenges due to the lack of a centralized alumni database, highlighting the need for an organized network.
The financial crisis and the reunion led to discussions between former FDIC and RTC employees (managers and staff) and FDIC officials about forming a formal alumni association to strengthen fellowship and provide a reliable communication channel in future crises. With support from the FDIC Chairman and agency leadership, a dedicated organizing team established the Association of FDIC Alumni (AFDICA) in November 2016 that was created as a non-profit alumni organization.
