Abstract

The Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) Executive Education Seminar program prepares senior level state and local officials to examine, define and meet the challenges homeland security poses for their jurisdictions. These seminars provide opportunities for state, city or urban area leaders to engage in strategic planning, policy development and organizational design through facilitated discussion. Seminars are conducted by Mobile Education Teams (MET) comprising nationally recognized experts in various areas related to homeland security. The seminars are designed to enhance leadership development, communication and knowledge at senior levels of local, state and federal governments and agencies. For states, the target audience is the governor and his/her homeland security team, which is expected to consist of the governor's senior staff and the heads of each department and agency that has a role in homeland security. The focus for local government includes mayors and senior urban area officials and their homeland security leadership.
