FBI IAA Leadership Transition Announcement

Posted by Jason Collins on: December 12th, 2011

 

 

 

The FBI IAA is pleased to announce the results of its 2012 Executive Board elections, as we successfully conclude the first leadership transition since incorporating in June 2009. Over the past several weeks, the Nomination Committee convened to collect and review candidate nominations, as well as elect the new board members.  To the Committee: the FBI IAA is deeply grateful for your time & service.

One of the IAA's top priorities for 2011 was the selection of, and transition to, new leaders from within our membership base, as many of our interim leaders were in their third year of voluntary service.  This transition marks the beginning of a new chapter for the FBI IAA… the only professional association exclusively dedicated to promoting the interests, welfare, and professional development of FBI Intelligence Professionals!  The Executive Board structure now features the creation of Headquarters and Field Co-Presidents, which is designed to ensure equitable representation of the diverse intelligence workforce needs at the association's highest level. 

The association deeply appreciates the tremendous legacy–of dedication, sacrifice, and success–that our Co-Founders and Steering Committee Members graciously bestowed upon us.  The 2012 Executive Board will continue your tradition of selfless service for our members and the enhancement of FBI intelligence. 

The 2012 FBI IAA Executive Board Members are as follows:
*Rachel L. Davis, Co-President (HQ)
*Joshua Adames, Co-President (Field)
*Daniel C. O'Donnell, Vice President
*Christine Bartolf, Secretary
*Mark Zajac, Treasurer (interim)

Federal intelligence workforce must shed jobs, experts say…

Posted by Jason Collins on: May 24th, 2011

Federal intelligence agencies must make targeted staff reductions and boost employee performance in response to declining budgets, according to a report released Tuesday.

In the report from the Intelligence and National Security Alliance, a task force of current and former members of the intelligence community, recommended significant but strategic cuts to the workforce and programs over the next five years. Staffing levels increased in the last decade and are unsustainable in the current fiscal environment, according to the report.

FBI IAA View on D/FBI Extension

Posted by Jason Collins on: May 19th, 2011

The FBI Intelligence Analysts' Association (FBI IAA) supports President Obama's decision to request an extension to the term of FBI Director Robert S Mueller III.  The FBI IAA is proud of Director Mueller's efforts to transform the FBI into an intelligence driven organization. We look forward to the opportunity to support Director Mueller's significant efforts in continuing the transformation of the FBI.  

He has been a tremendous catalyst and leader and has started to build a foundation for an Intelligence Career Service as outlined in the Intelligence Reform and Prevention of Terrorism Act (IRTPA 2004) and thus far and we are confident he will continue to further the transformation. 

The FBI IAA looks forward to working with the Director in implementing his vision for the future.
