The Guild of American Intelligence Analysts—also known as The Analyst Guild—advances the skills and abilities of intelligence analysts throughout the United States, while advocating for a wide range of causes relevant to the success and wellbeing of our intelligence professionals.

Intelligence Analyst Initiatives

The Analyst Guild supports initiatives that advance the field of intelligence analysis in the United States, with the goal of furthering the professionalization of the discipline, regardless of organizational affiliation or specialty.

Intelligence analysts work in federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments; with private sector companies; and non-profit organizations. These analysts support homeland security, public safety, security, and emergency management missions, which present diverse challenges and require a complex framework of training to achieve professional success.

Initiatives supported by the Analyst Guild include:

Analytic Tradecraft Training

Career and Skills Development

Analyst Wellness and Resilience

Board of Practitioners

The Analyst Guild is led by a Board of Practitioners with diverse personal, educational, and professional backgrounds. The depth of knowledge and experience of the Board informs the work of the Analyst Guild and helps ensure it is able to effectively meet the needs of intelligence analysts nationwide.

Analyst Code of Ethics

As an intelligence analyst, I will serve my community and my nation with honor and integrity; protect the constitutional rights of all to liberty, equity, equality, and privacy; speak truth to power; and uphold the principles of ethics of my chosen profession.

My duty is to seek the truth and objectively analyze information to produce intelligence that is accurate, timely, and actionable. I will hone my craft continuously, understanding that mastery is not a final goal but a persistent state of learning.

I will selflessly dedicate myself to the safety and security of our Nation and all those within its borders. I bear responsibility for protecting intelligence sources and methods from disclosure or exposure, and, as a public servant, I will protect the resources with which I am entrusted from misuse or abuse.

I recognize that my conduct reflects on my organization and my profession and I reject prejudice and bias toward others regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, or ancestry; religious or spiritual beliefs; sex, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation; disability; or political beliefs.

I will report wrongdoing expeditiously and will not tolerate violations of privacy, civil rights, civil liberties, or human rights. I am accountable to myself, my organization, my profession, and the American people.
