Intelligence Committee
Purpose:
The AFCEA Intelligence Committee is a volunteer group of public and private sector intelligence professionals that oversee AFCEA's Intelligence outreach.
The Committee provides an active focal point within AFCEA for encouraging the exchange of ideas and coordinating AFCEA’s intelligence-related activities.
Specifically, the Committee:
- Strengthens AFCEA Intelligence’s role as the Association’s principal intelligence advocate and resource, making available to the AFCEA membership worldwide its understanding of intelligence – and making available to the Community the interests and capabilities of AFCEA’s individual and corporate member.
- Supports AFCEA and its membership by preparing, reviewing, approving and/or making recommendations for intelligence symposia, intelligence-related course material for use in the AFCEA Professional Development Program, projects, white papers, etc.
- Conducts at least two intelligence symposia annually.
- Promotes AFCEA membership and support within the Community.
- Supports Signal Magazine by encouraging and contributing ideas for intelligence-related articles and interviews.
- Oversees AFCEA’s annual intelligence recognition programs (e.g., intelligence awards and an essay contest).

White Papers
As part of its ongoing outreach to the Intelligence Community, the AFCEA Intelligence Committee has prepared a series of white papers intended to contribute to a national discussion about ways to strengthen the contribution intelligence makes to our nation's security and to address the growing need for intelligence to function within the evolving operational concepts of defense, homeland security and the other components of national security.
We encourage you to provide feedback regarding our published white papers. Please take a moment to complete the online survey form included at the end of each paper.
