TRI Team presents at the annual International Association of Emergency Managers conference

In mid-November 2022, members of TRI were selected to speak at IAEM’s annual conference. Executive Director, Lorraine Schneider, helped kick off the conference with her presentation on children in disasters. Lorraine serves as Board Chair for the non-profit Project:Camp and she shared information about how organizations can partner with Project:Camp to support a child’s recovery after a crisis.

TRI’s Emergency Management Coordinator, Brianna Lentz, took the stage as an Envision Speaker. IAEM’s EMvision Talks are modeled after the well-known TED™ Talk format. Bri shared her experiences as a next generation Emergency Manager.

Finally, Andrea Davis, President and CEO, was the closing conference keynote speaker sharing a personal experience on the importance on checking in with your colleagues and helping them through stressful times.
