Gulf Oil Spill Disaster Response Summit
From: Disaster Response Leadership Forum
Regardless of when the oil spill is stopped, the Gulf of Mexico is now a catastrophic disaster zone. Solutions and resources are needed NOW. They will also be needed for months - possibly years - moving forward.
You are invited to the Gulf Oil Spill Disaster Response Summit, scheduled for Thursday, June 17, 2010 at the Mobile Convention Center in Mobile, Alabama, home to one of the headquarters of Unified Command.
The Summit will feature federal, state, and local officials involed in the oil spill disaster response; private sector leaders with disaster response solutions; and experts on oil dispersants and environmental damage.
Summit topics include:
* The latest oil spill damage assessments, including the impacts on health, seafood, the environment, and tourism
* Updates on government and private sector response efforts, programs, and funding
* The best solutions for capping underwater oil spills
* The most effective and least toxic oil dispersants
* Transportation solutions for delivering oil dispersants
* Cleaning oil-impacted beaches and marshes
* Hazardous material disposal
* Mobile health clinics
* Assistance for small business
* New jobs
As a public service, Summit attendance is free. To register, please click the link below, view the invitation, and respond by clicking either the Yes or No button at the bottom of the invitation.
If you would like to promote a specific oil spill response solution, please check the appropriate questionnaire box during the event registration process, or contact us at: summit@globaldisasterleadershipforum.org.
We urge you to be part of the solution and look forward to seeing you on June 17.

A few brief comments on your interests and experience would be helpful as well, but professional commitment and the desire to contribute through FLASLA committee service is all that is required.
FLASLA committees support Executive Committee-approved programmatic goals and objectives by: (1) performing specific functions; or (2) providing member expertise and input on issues and programs.
Committee chairs direct the activities of the group in coordination with our Association Manger, Sue Fern, and in accordance with the board-approved Annual Operating Plan and the committee charge. The Members At Large are responsible for coordinating the activities of committees, including committee communications, and work with the chairs to set agendas. The frequency of committee conference calls, meetings, and correspondence depends on the nature of the committee’s work. The FLASLA Members At Large serve as Executive Committee liaisons to the committees and are available to assist the committees and committee chairs as needed. Terms of service are one year, unless otherwise specified, and begin and end when the president assumes office at the conclusion of the annual meeting.
