The Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA) is now accepting nominations for the 2020 INSA Achievement Awards. Now in its tenth year, the awards recognize outstanding early to mid-career professionals from the homeland security, intelligence and national security communities, as well as the senior leaders who inspire their success.
“Retaining top talent is a mission critical priority across
government and its industry partners,” notes INSA Chairman Letitia Long.
“Showing our up-and-coming leaders that their efforts are noticed and valued
goes a long way toward strengthening the trusted workforce. I encourage senior
IC leaders and their partners across the government, the armed forces,
academia, and industry to nominate the rising stars and mentors within their
organizations for one of these important awards.”
