'I have been working in public safety and emergency services for over 15 years, and I currently manage a WMD training program. The CHLS program will enhance my experience and ability to discuss, with a well-rounded expertise, many of the current homeland security issues we face. Not only has it helped me better facilitate dialogue in the emergency response community, but it has also been a valuable tool as a manager in a homeland security training program.'
