Other speakers include a presentation by former NASA Commander and Astronaut Rick Searfoss who will explain how to build a company-wide safety culture and how to defend your program in the midst of tragedy.
The meeting will close with an address by Robert Thomasson, program manager for the federal Drug Interdiction Assistance Program, entitled "Terrorism: Do You Know What a Terrorist Looks Like?"
The TCA Safety and Security Division Meeting will also feature a 10,000-square-foot exhibition hall with new products and opportunities for networking.
