The Pacific Northwest Association of Investigators (PNAI) is a professional organization of licensed investigators incorporated in the State of Washington in December 1947.

PNAI was established to encourage and assist members in their continuing professional education, and to establish goals for their professional conduct and behavior, by mandating standards of personal and professional conduct.  This continues to be the primary mission of PNAI and its membership.

PNAI is committed to promoting the well being of the profession by working in concert with other professional associations, the Washington State Department of Licensing and state legislators to develop laws and regulations that enhance our profession and protect the public.

PNAI is dedicated in maintaining:

    * High ethical standards and practices
    * Protection of our Profession from unethical individuals, groups or practices
    * Respect for client dignity, confidentiality, and privileged information
    * Good fellowship and understanding within the organization
    * A presence and legislative effort on behalf of the profession
