About the IAI...
(U//FOUO) The IAI has been reaching out to the workforce for over
30 years, presenting to the NSA workforce a variety of
distinguished speakers from government, industry, and academia.
The IAI is a member of NSA's Council of Learned Organizations and
its aim is to promote an interest in international events and affairs
while providing unique insights into those issues. In addition to the
essay contest, the IAI pursues its mission through the following
activities:
The International Challenge : Open to all NSA employees, the
annual International Challenge is an unclassifed written contest
which consists of 100 multiple-choice questions on the following
topics: international and domestic affairs, politics, economics,
history, current events, the military, and geography. Cash prizes
are awarded to the participants achieving the top three scores.
Speaker Series : One of the IAI's highest priorities is to arrange
for speakers to address the NSA workforce on matters of current
international interest. Recent speakers have included:
Ms. Theresa Loar, Vice President for Global Strategies at
CH2M Hill and former adviser to First Lady Hillary Clinton
and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, speaking on "

(U//FOUO) The organization is also extremely well connected to
the IA (Intelligence Analysis) Intern program. An intern sits on the
IAI Board, and the organization has recently instituted a new policy
granting membership to all IA Intern new-hires, free of charge for
their first year. This recruitment tool has been very successful, and
has prompted IAI to reach out to the other skill-field communities
with a similar membership agreement offer.
(U//FOUO) Membership : IAI is currently encouraging new
membership and has 3 positions coming available on the Board of
Governors. Elections will take place the first week of August. If you
