The Society of FBI Alumni, Inc. traces its roots to the early 1970s, when a group of women who worked at the FBI developed the habit of meeting occasionally for lunch. On May 18, 1973, the Society of Former FBI Women, Inc. was officially incorporated with 154 charter members. A few years later, after considerable debate, the organization was renamed the Society of FBI Alumni, Inc., to be more inclusive, but its purpose, that of fellowship, support for law enforcement, and charitable giving, remained unchanged

The Society’s first national convention was held in Washington, D.C., in October 1979, at which time national bylaws, the Society motto “United in Fellowship,” and the Society colors (red, white, blue, and gold) were adopted.

Any former employee who completed one year of successful service is eligible to join. Currently, there are approximately 850 members in 21 Chapters in major cities across the United States as well as approximately 240 additional members with no chapter affiliation. The Society is governed by an Executive Board consisting of six officers and six Regional Vice Presidents representing six geographical locations across the country. 

In addition to Chapter activities, the Executive Board meets during the spring and at the annual convention held during the late summer or fall. All members are encouraged to attend these meetings whenever possible.
