“What Past Participants Are Saying...”

Morgan Moore, CBCP, Business Resilience Analyst at Bank OZK

“It was very clear from the very first presentation that Andrea and the entire TRI team loves what they do. Their passion for Business Resilience and Emergency Management was infectious, and their combined years of experience in their respective fields is really impressive. During the workshop, we had several great discussions regarding risk assessments for Business Continuity, how to encourage tabletop exercise engagement, and ways to show the value of business resilience in the private sector. I came away from the workshop with several ideas on spreading hurricane preparedness and how to conduct exercises for my institution. If you have the opportunity to attend this workshop, I highly recommend it!”

Charles Benjamin Houston, Former US Army Civil Affairs Officer

 "My experience at the inaugural Resiliency Institute was transformative. It was incredibly fulfilling to see my DoD expertise as a Civil Affairs Officer valued and championed. The collaborative environment fostered by the Institute allowed me to contribute meaningfully while learning from other professionals who share a passion for emergency management. The recognition of my skills and the opportunity to apply them in a broader context reinforced my belief in the power of community and shared knowledge in building resilience. This experience reaffirmed my commitment to serving and protecting communities at home and abroad."
