Mayors and Technology Leaders from Across the Nation to Examine State of Homeland Security
In response to the homeland security challenge facing the United States, the federal, state and local governments, as well as the private sector and the American people, have taken many steps to improve security since the September 11 attacks—but a great deal of work remains.
At a major national conference on Thursday, and Friday, October 7-8 in Washington, DC, mayors and other government officials, academic experts, and technology leaders from across the country will examine this and many other issues during the
Mayors’ Technology Summit on Homeland Security, Public Safety, and Economic Development. The conference is jointly hosted by Washington, D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams and the Center for Competitive Government at Temple University’s Fox School of Business and Management.
“It is my pleasure to collaborate with Temple University's Center for Competitive Government to bring a national mayors summit to Washington, D.C.,” said Mayor Anthony Williams. “This world-class event will focus on local government best practices in Homeland Security and e-Government, particularly the lessons learned here in the National Capital Region.”
This Summit follows two New York City events hosted by the Center for Competitive Government in partnership with former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in 2000 and 2001, and the 2003 Summit in San Francisco with former Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr.
The Washington, DC Summit is sponsored by the Technology Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Defense, and the Pentagon.
