Blogs
To nurture discussion among and for intelligence professionals, AFCEA Intelligence sponsors two popular Blogs: The MAZZ-INT Blog and the Small Business Blog.
MAZZ-INT Blog
In the MAZZ-INT Blog, sage and career intelligence professional Joe Mazzafro provides opinion pieces that cover the spectrum of issues related to the Intelligence Community.
Small Business Blog
The Small Business Intelligence Blog is written by small business consultant Dan Callahan and provides tips, insights, and recommendations for small businesses wanting to break into or expand business with the Intelligence Community.
Intelligence Academic Directory
The Intelligence Academic Directory provides a list of universities with intelligence-related courses and degrees. While the directory currently focuses on offerings in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia, it will be expanded over time to provide undergraduate and graduate students with an academic resource not available elsewhere.
Intelligence Corporate Directory
The AFCEA Online Directories are comprehensive profiles of leading Intelligence Companies worldwide. Listings include contact, business focus, products and/or client information.
Companies found in the Intelligence directory offer products or services useful to government and intelligence community and professionals.
White Papers & Special Reports
As part of its ongoing outreach to the Intelligence Community, the AFCEA Intelligence Committee has prepared a series of white papers intended to strengthen the contribution intelligence makes to our nation's security and to address the growing need for intelligence to function within the evolving operational concepts of defense, homeland security and the other components of national security.
We encourage you to provide feedback regarding our published white papers. At the end of each paper, you will find an online survey.
