| President's Corner
Dear Fellow SARMA Members,
Sadly, we have begun the new year with sobering reminders of both the importance of and complexity associated with effectively managing risks in the context of homeland security.
The failed Christmas Day bombing aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 dramatically underscored the significance of information sharing and communication as key elements of an effective risk management program. Likewise, the devastating earthquake in Haiti and the ongoing swine flu pandemic remind us that we live in a multi-hazard world where decisions regarding where and how we invest the limited funding available for preparedness can have far-reaching consequences. In light of these events, I believe it is incumbent on SARMA to provide opportunities for the security risk management community to come together and focus on these issues.
As many of you know, we have partnered with George Mason University (GMU) School of Law's Center for Infrastructure Protection in the past and, with generous sponsorship from PricewaterhouseCoopers, I am particularly pleased this will continue in the form of a one-day event entitled The Relevance of Risk Management and Information Sharing to Homeland Security, to be held 10 February 2010, at GMU's Arlington, Virginia campus. For more information, please visit our Events page via the left-hand column.
Likewise, I am pleased to announce that SARMA's Fourth Annual Conference on Security Analysis and Risk Management has now been scheduled for 15-17 June 2010. The theme for this year's conference will be Confronting the Challenges of Multi-Hazard Preparedness. While specific details are still being finalized, potential tracks include: risk methodologies, the role of government in risk management policy and planning, public health and cyber security. Please watch for more details in the coming weeks.
My best,
Kerry
