“INSA is a respected, credible and reliable resource and venue where intelligence and national security professionals come together from across these diverse communities. The organization’s growing influence and success stem from the invaluable contributions made by the members of the INSA Board of Directors and Board of Advisors, and I welcome this year’s new members to the INSA leadership team. I look forward to working together with the INSA Boards, Councils and Task Forces, and staff to fulfill our mission and continue to serve the IC in 2014,” said Ambassador John Negroponte.

Ambassador Joseph DeTrani, President of INSA said, “As INSA continues to grow, the 2014 Board of Directors and Board of Advisors will help in continuing to guide INSA to higher levels of leadership and influence. INSA looks to its Boards for leadership and direction – they will be vital in further developing INSA’s strategic plan in growing the organization and increasing its influence. The new Board members each bring the industry knowledge and career experience we need to grow INSA’s membership and lead INSA to the next level of support in forging the public, private and academic partnerships which will enhance our national security.”
The five new members of the Board of Directors will join the ten current Board members for a three-year term. They will advise and guide the development and strategic direction of the organization over the coming year.
