Generic Job Description

Training Update

Dear Colleague

For your information, just a small appetiser for our 2008 Conference, which promises to be our most thought provoking, potentially controversial one yet. For those of you who still haven’t booked, this is an opportunity to engage with professionals from around the globe sharing with them in their experiences, and valuable lessons learned. Places are available but they are disappearing. Don’t be disappointed, reserve your place now,

Gerard Forlin

Was appointed as a special adviser to the Bar Council on the Corporate Manslaughter Bill (2005) Described as “Mr Manslaughter”, he successfully defended a local authority charged with corporate manslaughter.

Ron Carlee

As County Manager, Mr. Carlee was confronted with the terrorist attack on the Pentagon in his first year. As the senior civilian responsible for the local actions, Mr. Carlee led the Arlington Emergency Operations Centre and the inter-agency response.

Donald F Kettl

Following September 11^th, public officials everywhere promised that the nation would learn the painful lessons the terrorist attack taught. But Hurricane Katrina not only revealed that we have failed to learn, it also showed that we have yet to build the capacity to deal with costly, wicked problems that leave little time to react.

Lucy Easthope

The concept of “recovery” and the most effective ways “to recover” are now regularly explored and this debate has been enhanced by national guidance in this area. Lucy has been conducting an ongoing ethnography of a local community recovering from a devastating flood and contrasting this with experiences from a number of other events, plus good practice and doctrine available internationally.
