Details: Registration is now open for INSA's 11th Achievement Awards Ceremony, taking place virtually on Wednesday, February 17 from 4:30-6:00 pm ET. We hope you'll join us as we recognize six outstanding early and mid-level professionals in the intelligence, national security, and homeland security communities, as well as the senior leaders who inspire their success.
The festive evening is bound to keep viewers engaged, especially with a keynote from Dr. Stacey Dixon, Deputy Director, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and appearances from IC legends, senior leaders, and our six outstanding honorees.
Dr. Stacey Dixon: In June 2019, Dr. Stacey Dixon became the eighth Deputy Director of the NGA. Prior to taking on this role, Dr. Dixon served as both the Deputy Director and then Director of IARPA. Previously, she was the Deputy Director of NGA's Research Directorate and spent time serving as the Chief of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs and the Deputy Director of NGA's Office of Corporate Communications. Before joining NGA, Dr. Dixon was a staff member for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), where completed an assignment at the National Reconnaissance Office's Advanced Systems and Technology directorate. In terms of #NatSecGirlSquad, Dr. Dixon recently held a Unicorn Session during #NSGSCon 2020.
Meg Guliford: Embodies what it means to be a dedicated scholar, engaged community member, and esteemed role model. While a PhD candidate at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, Ms. Guliford brought service as a defense analyst for the U.S. government and on-the-ground experience in a war zone to her work on the complex dynamics of foreign intervention. The strength of her research, which investigates how external intervention impacts the victimization of civilians in civil wars, has been recognized by the broader community, earning her a seat at conferences and public discussions, as well as a prestigious multi-year fellowship to be in residence at Perry World House from the University of Pennsylvania’s Provost. She prefers to work alongside her colleagues and students to build a stronger national security community, epitomizing all that the Sidney D. Drell Achievement Award represents.
