(a) Providing the FBI Portland Citizens Academy Alumni with opportunities to network, keep in touch with one another and the FBI after they graduate through participation in special events, presentations, community outreach, continued training opportunities and social gatherings;

(b) Assisting to provide the FBI Citizens Academy classes and alumni development efforts with resources, training, information and technical assistance as needed supporting the use of best practices;

(c) Promoting the importance of the FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association members as community ambassadors educating local communities in Portland about federal law enforcement issues and challenges;
