The Intelligence and National Security Alliance is accepting nominations for its annual awards program through Nov. 21.
Organizers said it takes less than 15 minutes to submit a nomination for the INSA/INSF Charlie Allen Achievement Award, designed to honor intelligence, national security and homeland security professionals in early to mid-career stages for their extraordinary contributions.
Participants are invited to submit names of rising stars or inspiring mentors for the 2026 awards by emailing them to achievement@insaonline.org.
Award categories include government, homeland security, industry, mentorship, military, and science/technology.
Established in 2010, the awards highlight individuals who excel in leadership, potential for growth, impact on their profession, mission accomplishment, and standing and influence.
