It's that time of year - to begin planning for the Annual Training Conference!

This year we will be in beautiful Orlando, Florida at the Walt Disney World Resort Hilton from May 3 - 7, 2010. Make plans to not only experience a great training program - but bring your families, too, for a wonderful experience at the Walt Disney World Resort. The hotel is right across the street from Downtown Disney with many attractions. The hotel rates are good for 3 days prior to and 3 days after the training conference.

The registration link describes the event, costs, and location. As you will see on the registration link below, we have also arranged for reduced prices from Disney World. Your IALEIA Board and our LEIU partners have worked hard to keep the registration costs the same as last year.

The LEIU website is currently available for online conference registration as well as providing a link to the specifically designed Hilton Hotel registration for LEIU/IALEIA. Please visit that site at http://www.leiu.org. Soon we will be adding the agenda; so visit often as we update the program and speakers. We plan an exciting event and a great time for all.

As a new feature this year, we have added a 2nd certificate plan for advanced analysis. This will include workshops on "Strategic Analysis;" "Analytical Thinking and Presentation;" and "Advanced Analysis." This will be in addition to our previous "Fundamentals of Intelligence" certificate ("Basic Elements of Intelligence;" "Strategic Analysis;" and "Legal Issues and Privacy").

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has approved the use of DHS Homeland Security Grant Program funds to pay for attendance at the LEIU/IALEIA conferences in Vancouver in 2007, Boston in 2008, and Las Vegas in 2009. Once again, the LEIU/IALEIA conference will have a strong nexus to Homeland Security and therefore qualifies for DHS grant funds. However, as always, grant expenditures must be cleared with your DHS State Administrative Agency to make sure this applies in your region.

Please feel free to contact any of the conference contacts on the registration form if you have any questions or if you need additional information.

The Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI, Inc. recently commissioned a multimedia presentation to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Bureau. The FBI: A Century of Excellence (Legacy and Legends, Part II) is now available for viewing on their website at

Analysts play a key role in the Bureau’s continued success, especially in the increasingly complicated investigations required to combat threats such as terrorism.

The Society and its members thank you very much for your support! For more information or with questions or comments, please call 800-527-7372 or e-mail socxfbi@socxfbi.org.

IALEIA, in cooperation with the Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit (LEIU), conducts a basic analytic course for new law enforcement analysts called Foundations of Intelligence Analysis Training (FIAT). This course is taught by law enforcement professionals experienced in analysis, and has received rave reviews from attendees.

The course is taught on demand, and has been approved for the use of Department of Homeland Security grant funds (if authorized by the state authority controlling these funds).
