The location of the FBIRA Store at Headquarters has moved.

[restrict]The FBIRA Store at the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building, or more commonly called FBI Headquarters, has officially made the move from the 8th floor of the building to the first-floor Visitor Center. The new FBIRA Store will be opening at Headquarters, Monday, February 13th, and the new room number is 1016. With this new location, visitors and former employees can enter the Visitor Center and shop in the FBIRA Store without having to request an escort to take you up to the 8th floor to go shopping. After March, you will be able to visit with appropriate photo identification without feeling that you must burden someone to get you in. As with any move there is some work to be done. The opening on the 13th will be a soft opening, but the move is official, and the 8th floor store is closed. The security portals to the visitor’s lobby will be moved in March to offer full access to all official visitors after they clear the sign in turnstiles. There should be a ribbon cutting in April.
The official address is:

FBI Recreation Association

935 Pennsylvania Ave NW, RM 1016

2017 Spring Board Meeting

The Wisconsin Chapter of the Society is pleased to once again host the Spring Board Meeting [restrict]in Milwaukee on Wednesday April 19 to Saturday April 22, 2017.  We will begin with a Wednesday evening hospitality gathering with various beverages and heavy snacks and, more importantly a chance for Board, Chapter, and other Society members to reconnect.

Lodging will be at the Clarion Hotel, 5311 South Howell Avenue, right across from the airport.  The room rate is $80 plus tax and the registration fee is also $80.  We encourage you to make your hotel reservation as soon as possible in order to get the type of room you desire.  To reserve your room, please contact the hotel directly at 414-481-2400, and ask for the “FBI Alumni Group” rate.  This is also the number you will use to call for the free hotel shuttle when you arrive at the Milwaukee airport.

The Society and Foundation meetings will be held on Thursday, with lunch provided between them and dinner that evening (NOTE:  Because of the nature of business to be addressed, e.g., review of education grant applications, the Foundation meeting is limited to only members of the Board.  Society members are welcome to attend and observe the Society Executive Board meeting.  It is not, however, an open meeting and participation in any discussion may only occur at the request of the Society President.)  As necessary any necessary “carryover” business for the Society or the Foundation will be conducted on Friday morning.

A tour of the new Milwaukee Office is planned for Friday afternoon (an incredible opportunity to reconnect with our roots, so to speak), with a museum visit you are sure to enjoy!  Enroute to the hotel, we will stop for dinner and a good ole Milwaukee Fish Fry.  While all are welcome to stay longer and enjoy Milwaukee, Saturday, April 22^nd is fixed for the end of the Spring meeting activities.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone.  Hopefully our Wisconsin weather will cooperate, but please join us regardless – our Alumni Friends are all we need for a good time when gathered together.  Please mark your calendars and plan on attending.  Click here for the registration form.
