The Collins Center Update. Volume 13, Issue 1, October-December 2010
Abstract
In mid-November, the Center for Strategic Leadership (CSL) was joined by its partners in sponsoring the Consortium for Homeland Defense and Security in America, a major symposium that has occurred annually since 2005. This year the consortium, consisting of CSL, George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI), the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and the Heritage Foundation, brought together subject matter experts from across the globe for a series of panel presentations entitled "Layered Defense, Ready Response." The event attracted more than 200 Homeland Defense and Security "stakeholders" from the United States, Europe and other countries. These members represented federal, state and local government, as well as military, private sector, academic institutions and major "think-tanks". The keynote address by Dr. Paul N. Stockton, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas' Security Affairs, set the tone for the conference early, outlining cooperative initiatives underway between federal, state and local governments in preparing for and responding to disasters; and challenging participants to explore new venues for achieving unity of effort in those endeavors.
