TRI hosts inaugeral Resiliency Academy in San Antonio, Texas.

On May 6-7, TRI hosted our inaugeral Resiliency Academy in San Antionio, Texas.

The Resiliency Academy was a two-day workshop encompassing all-hazards preparedness specific to the private sector. TRI’s expert team provided attendees with the building blocks to create a best-in-class crisis management program. Using the TRI team’s expertise with organizations such as Walmart, Disney, American Airlines and UCLA, this was truly a workshop built for the private sector by the private sector. 

The Resiliency Academy covered 5 key subject areas:

  • Risk Assessment and Plan Development

  • Preparedness and Training Customization

  • Exercise Design

  • Crisis Communications

  • Leadership in a Crisis

Attendees walked away with plan outlines, training content, and exercise scenarios. Additionally, they enhanced their capacity to manage and navigate crisis situations effectively while upholding their company’s core values and principles.  Finally, attendees were awarded a certificate of completion for 16 Continuing Education Units (CEUs), which can be applied towards DRII recertifications (CEAP number 6.0).

As the Founder, President and CEO of The Resiliency Initiative, a certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), I empower small businesses and communities to become self-reliant through crisis and risk mitigation planning. I have over 20 years of experience in emergency management, business continuity, and public health, working for public, private, and non-profit sectors across various industries and geographies.

My core competencies include strategic policy development, program management, stakeholder engagement, and media relations. I have led global, enterprise-wide crisis management departments for multi-national, Fortune 500 companies, such as The Walt Disney Company and Walmart, overseeing large-scale responses to natural disasters, pandemics, cyberattacks, and social unrest. I have also served as the External Affairs Director for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Louisiana Recovery Office for Hurricane Katrina, managing a recovery portfolio of over $25 billion.

My passion is volunteer service, which led to my selection as the Inaugural Emergency Manager of the Year in 2018 by the International Association of Emergency Managers and my induction into the Women’s Emergency Management Hall of Fame in 2013.
