Guiding Principles for the Nation's Infrastructure

The Infrastructure Security Partnership (TISP) is holding their Annual Infrastructure and Regional Resilience 2009 Conference on December 9th and 10 at the Gaylord Hotel in Grapevine, Texas. http://www.tisp.org/index.cfm

William B. Anderson, TISP Director has worked hard to pull this together.

Joe Manous, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is moderating a panel with David Pezza (USACE) and myself to continue the process of communicating the American Sociey of Civil Engineers (ASCE) new Guiding Principles for the Nation’s Infrastructure. http://ciasce.asce.org/

Also this past week; the Chair of the ASCE, Committee on Critical Infrastructure (CCI), Karen Moran, PE and VP at Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP held the quarterly meeting and set direction for the committee’s work to develop a roadmap to implement the Guiding Principles. I’ve agreed to play a leadship role on the subcommittee to move this initiative ahead. More to come on this initiative.
