The Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA) is a non-profit, nonpartisan 501(c)(6) professional organization based in Arlington, Virginia for the public and private sector members of the United States Intelligence Community.
INSA was founded in 1979 as the Security Affairs Support Association (SASA)[2] to bring together professionals in the intelligence field, primarily focused on the National Security Agency, and to assist members in staying current on intelligence and national security community issues. SASA's headquarters were in Annapolis Junction, Maryland. Maj Gen John E. Morrison, Jr., a 2001 NSA Hall of Honor Inductee, served as president of SASA from 1979 to 1999.
SASA's Board of Directors voted in November 2005 to rename the organization the Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA) following the establishment of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

William Oliver Baker Award DinnerEdit
The William Oliver Baker Award was established by SASA in 1984 to honor achievements in the intelligence sector. The award is named in honor of the first recipient, William O. Baker.[5] To celebrate each award recipient, INSA holds an annual William Oliver Baker Award Dinner.
The INSA Achievement Awards were established in 2010.[7] INSA holds the Achievement Awards annually, granting six awards that differ in their mission and service requirements.[8] The six awards are:
The Intelligence and National Security Summit is an annual event held by both INSA and the Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association International (AFCEA). Its purpose is to bring public and private sector leaders together to advance collaborative solutions to critical intelligence and national security challenges.[9] The Summit is a two-day program that features five plenaries and six breakout sessions that examine contemporary issues in intelligence and national security.
Other eventsEdit
INSA hosts several events with prominent speakers from across the Intelligence Community on a regular basis, including the Distinguished Speakers Series, Intelligence Champions Events, Leadership Dinners, and the speaker series "An Evening with Charlie Allen." Nearly all INSA events are held in the Washington metropolitan area.
INSA hosts an annual IC Industry Day to discuss key issues relevant to the Intelligence Community. INSA developed its annual IC Industry Day in conjunction with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) as a comprehensive forum for Intelligence Community leaders to relay their budget priorities to the industry with the goal of better enabling industry to anticipate and provide multifaceted support to the IC. Past topics have ranged from “Intelligence Program Priorities in a Budget Constrained Environment” (2013) to “Understanding the IC Budget in Order to Meet National Security Need" (2012).
