Meeting the Intelligence Workforce Gap


DateTuesday, November 6, 2007
LocationSenate Capitol, Room SC 4

Mr. Tom Fox, director of the Annenberg Leadership Institute at the Partnership for Public Service, and Dr. Ronald Sanders, chief human capital officer at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, will join us for a discussion of the state of the intelligence workforce.  The individuals engaged in intelligence collection and analysis are a key asset to national security efforts.  While the post-9/11 security environment demands an increasing number of these skilled intelligence professionals, a third of the federal workforce will be eligible for retirement over the next five years.  How are agencies modifying their processes for recruiting, training, and retaining intelligence professionals to fill this gap?  How can the intelligence community develop the human capital of its workforce to facilitate information-sharing and meet current national security needs?
