Nominations Open for 2023 Achievement Awards
Honoring our Rising Stars!
The Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA) is now accepting nominations for the 2023 INSA Achievement Awards. Now in its 13th year, these awards recognize outstanding early- to mid-career professionals from the intelligence, homeland, and national security communities, as well as a senior leader who inspires their success.
Each of the six awards is named after a recipient of the William Oliver Baker Award, which INSA presents annually to an extraordinary leader for sustained contributions to excellence in intelligence and national security affairs. Nominations are due COB on Friday, October 28.
“Since our inaugural ceremony, Achievement Award honorees have been extraordinary individuals who lead by example, live lives of purpose, and inspire others to be more and do more,” says INSA Chair Letitia A. Long. “Their diversity of backgrounds and experiences has been awe-inspiring, and their shared commitment to our national security reflects all that is great about our country. By recognizing these emerging leaders, employers reinforce that their work is appreciated and valued, which is vitally important to retaining these high-performers.”
