About the Alliance

InfraGard Middle Tennessee Members Alliance is a nonprofit, public-private partnership with the FBI dedicated to the protection of U.S. critical infrastructure.

With more than 350 active members as of 2026, the Alliance connects private sector professionals, academics, and government officials with law enforcement to share actionable intelligence, deliver training on emerging security threats, and strengthen regional resilience across all 16 critical infrastructure sectors.

Our chapter serves the Middle Tennessee region with a commitment to trust, rigor, and mission-driven collaboration. Meetings are confidential, candid, and designed to deliver real value to members and the communities they protect.
