The New IC

Pivot with purpose. Lead with intention.

The most rewarding paths in the intelligence community are rarely linear. True leadership often grows from the ability to pivot, adapt, and say "yes" to the right opportunities at the right time.

Join 250 colleagues from across the intelligence and national security community for The New IC, The Mid-Career Advantage: Mastering the New Tradecraft, on Thursday, June 18, from 1:00 to 6:00 pm, at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, VA. 

What to Expect

• Keynote: Lori Wade, Chief Learning Officer, CIA,  will share her perspective on continuous learning and leadership.
• Panel discussion: Maximizing Mid-Career: The Strategic "Yes"  examines the vast landscape of certificates, credentials, and non-traditional pathways, from community colleges to the U.S. Tech Force initiative that empower mid-career professionals to intentionally pivot their expertise and master new mission-critical skills.
• Lightning Rounds: Candid stories from peers on navigating pivotal personal and professional moments.
• Networking Reception: Connect with new peers, exchange perspectives, and strengthen the relationships that will support you throughout your career! 

Join us to gain fresh insights, share experiences, and leave with practical takeaways you can immediately apply.

INSA and ClearanceJobs will host a pre-event career fair from 12:00-2:00 pm, connecting cleared professionals with top employers from across the community. Separate registration required.  Register for Career Conversations.
