the FBIAA Memorial College Fund and the FBIAA Membership Assistance Fund.
Distinguished Service Honoree: Special Agents Joanna Pierce Misko and Susan Roley Malone, the first two women to graduate from Quantico as Special Agents of the FBI.
This year’s event will be held in special recognition of the 50-year anniversary of women serving as Special Agents of the FBI.
The 2021 G-Man Honors was held in special remembrance on the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Hear the stories of men and women of the FBI who responded to the impact sites on 9/11/01 and later faced health challenges related to their exposure.
The FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) is an organization dedicated to providing support and advocacy for
active and former Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
FBI Special Agents put their lives on the line every day in service of our country. The risks they take and the burdens they bear are shared by their families. Behind every FBI Special Agent is a family. And behind every family is the FBIAA.
Distinguished Service Honoree & Keynote Speakers
Joanne Pierce Misko joined the FBI in 1970 as a researcher after a 10-year vocation as a nun in New York. During her tenure with the Bureau, Misko became one of the first female supervisors at FBI Headquarters where she ran the unit in charge of new agent applications. Misko was an Agent for 22 years before retiring in 1994.
Susan Roley Malone was already a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps when she joined the FBI as a Special Agent. Malone became the first woman in the modern FBI to make an arrest. Malone was an FBI agent for seven years before rejoining the Marines and working for the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the criminal investigative arm of the Office of the Inspector General in the Department of Defense.

The FBIAA Memorial College Fund
The FBIAA MCF provides scholarships for the children and spouses of deceased FBI Agents. Since its inception, the Fund has assisted more than 260 children and distributed over $8.7 million in college tuition money. For the 2019-2020 school year, 33 students received payment for 75% of their college expenses, including tuition, room, board, and books, totaling over $655,000. There are currently 60 children that are eligible but not yet in college that we are planning to assist, a number that continues to grow as the FBI community experiences more 9/11 cancer-related deaths. Of the 60 eligible children, 16 are MCF eligible due to line of duty deaths.
The FBIAA Membership Assistance Fund
The FBIAA MAF provides financial assistance to FBIAA members and their families who have been affected by sudden hardship or tragedy. The Fund has helped families make emergency travel, afford treatments for grave illnesses and injuries, purchase necessary durable medical equipment, and pay for funeral expenses.
