Dan Stoneking, Director of the Private Sector Office at FEMA invites you to the first national conference on “Building Resilience through Public-Private Partnerships.”

This is the first time FEMA has brought together participants from all levels of the government and private sector leaders from across the nation – along with FEMA’s 10 new regional private sector liaisons. The conference will share good practices on effective collaboration toward resilience; take part in interactive plenary sessions; and break out into “vision” groups that will explore innovative and collaborative ways to resolve enduring issues.

During the “vision” sessions, participants will brainstorm and forge a recommended path toward achieving a different vision statement assigned to each group. The results will be included in a white paper and publicly posted after the conference.

If you have a meaningful idea that could benefit the masses, please submit to [email protected] immediately!

FEMA is especially excited by the amount of public-private collaboration going into creating this conference, which is developed in collaboration with DHS and USNORTHCOM and co-hosted at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Red Cross Headquarters.
