Rosanna will cover what makes it out the door and what doesn't and how consumers can improve the quality of HUMINT with feedback. This presentation is for junior analysts who work with, but are unfamiliar with and new to HUMINT.
• An Intelligence Officer Overseas: Ms. Minchew will speak about her career as a CIA operative oversees.
