CBP Day 2019

Join us for our Eight Annual CBP Day 2019: Strategies for a Dynamic Operational Environment

October 10, 2019 | 8:00 am – 3:00 pm | Arlington, VA

The CBP Strategy 2020-2025 is focused on twelve strategic initiatives that will advance CBP’s ability to accomplish their mission. To reach their goals and better accomplish their daily tasks, CBP must improve existing capabilities, develop new ones for the changing operational environment, and adapt their processes to better organize, train, equip and sustain their frontline operators. The strategic initiatives laid out in their strategic plan address key challenges and opportunities which guide where CBP should focus its resources. In particular, the strategy lays out specific activities and outcomes that must be achieved while also acknowledging that unforeseen developments or events may require reassessment and reorientation.

CBP day 2019 will focus on these strategic initiatives and work to help attendees understand these many missions, where industry can contribute, and understand the challenges to the agency.
