October General Meeting
“Sustainable Preparedness” was the theme of a general meeting of the Great Lakes Partnership (GLP) on Thursday, October 20, in Chicago . The day-long session featured a preview of the upcoming reorganization of the Department of Homeland Security, and breakout sessions on how to incorporate sustainability into security planning; applying lean logistics to supply chain security, and how the Great Lakes region could be a stronger voice in policy debates around homeland security.
Prior to the meeting, Demetria Giannisis, President & CEO of CMC was interviewed on Chicago Public Radio's morning program, 848. The audio file of her interview is now available in the Current News & Events section.
