Are You an Onboard Intelligence Professional in the FBI?
​
We greatly appreciate the interest from onboard FBI Intelligence Analysts (IAs), Staff Operations Specialists, and other intelligence professionals in joining the FBI Association of Intelligence Analysts (FBI AIA). Our organization was founded to connect and support former FBI IAs who have transitioned to roles in the private sector, non-profits, academia, and beyond.
​
At this time, membership is only open to former FBI IAs. However, when we established our bylaws, we intentionally left the door open to potentially include onboard employees in the future. Given the significant interest we’ve received, we are actively considering how to expand eligibility while ensuring we can manage the administrative and operational aspects effectively.
​
As a small organization with limited resources, we want to be methodical in this process to ensure we can provide value to all members—past, present, and future. We appreciate your patience as we work through these considerations.
​
If you are an onboard intelligence professional and would like to stay informed about our decision, please sign up for our mailing list: https://www.fbiaia.org/#mailing-list
​
You can also follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram.
​
We welcome your interest and look forward to finding ways to engage with and support the FBI IA community.
