Associate Magazine FBINAA Q1-2023

A s we start our new year, I continue to be in awe and inspired by the work and commitment of our members to their communities and our profession. It is with great pleasure and honor to serve the members of the greatest association on the planet as its executive director. Each day I see firsthand that our members are committed to fulfilling and exceeding our purpose of inspiring FBINAA members to continue their service to commu nity, networking, education, and professional development during their law enforcement career and beyond . I thank you for your continued dedication to your fellow NA graduates, this Associa tion, and to public safety throughout the world. Now that travel restrictions have eased in many areas, the National Board is excited to again participate in International Chapter Retrainers and events in 2023. The Board is committed to listening and acting on issues and concerns that affect our members worldwide. This can only be done by participating and networking with our members at their local and regional events. We are dedicated to make the needs of our worldwide Chapters the highest priority and this can only be accomplished by attend ing these events. As President Braniff mentioned in his Association Perspec tive column, we again are looking forward to meeting with our Chapter executives at the Chapter Leadership Summit scheduled for March 19th-23rd at the FBI National Academy in Quantico. This annual meeting is critical in setting the direction and priori ties of the Association now and for the future. As the demo graphics of our membership continue to change, Chapter input is essential to our continued success. NATIONAL OFFICE UPDATE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Howard Cook

Our Association continues to grow and provide more net working and training opportu nities for our membership. To keep up with this expansion, we will be investing in a more robust Association Manage ment System (AMS) and website. We have outgrown our current member data base system and need a more interactive and responsive system that is not only aligned with our business strategies and

operations, but will bring greater value to our members, custom ers, partners, and staff. This is a long-term project that started in January and will be completed in August. Look for more updates in future FBINAA newsletters. The National Board and Staff look forward to working with you and serving our membership in 2023. We’re off to a great start!
