FBINAA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION THE HEART AND HELPING HANDS OF THE ASSOCIATION

I am sure you remember one of the first days of attending the National Academy. As you sat in the auditorium listening to the expectations, maneuvering class schedules and exciting events we were going to experience, you were excited about the adventure ahead of you. Relationships had already begun as you met your roommate and suite mates. As weeks progressed and friendships grew stronger, many will have said that these were some of the best times of their lives. Still to this day, those connections remain close to their hearts. As you graduated, the words “let’s get together soon”, “until we meet again” and “see you at the national conference” were just a few phrases heard as your journey at the National Academy came to an end. Out of those wonderful connections and strong relationships, your FBINAA Charitable Foundation was formed. Our mission is the care and support of members and their families who are in distress, or in harm’s way, and the continued educational develop- ment of FBINAA members and their families. In order to assist you and keep our members informed, the Charitable Foundation has expanded their means into social media communication. Please join us on our new and updated platforms of social media, Facebook (FBI National Academy Associates Charitable Foundation or @FBINAACharitableFoundation), Twitter (FBINAA Charitable Foundation or @fbinaacf), LinkedIn (FBINAA Chari- table Foundation), and you can join our email Foundation News

by typing https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/lsKUdM4/ JoinTheFoundation into your browser.

We hope through our new social networking sites, it will allow us to, not only create new relationships with our new graduates, but also to reconnect with classmates near and far, continuing the journey you started at the FBI National Academy. With your help, the FBINAA Charitable Foundation will continue to be the “heart and helping hands of the Association”.
