Councils
Where Expertise Meets Action.
INSA’s policy councils and subcommittees bring together professionals from government, industry, and academia to address the intelligence and national security community’s most pressing challenges. Councils do not just talk about issues; they help shape them.
As a member, councils offer:
- Opportunities to shape policies that strengthen the IC's effectiveness and efficiency
- Thought leadership through white papers, op-eds, podcasts, and panel discussions
- Collaboration with peers and government partners in trusted, solution-focused forums
- Access to government and academic leaders who share challenges, priorities, and opportunities for collaboration
