We are collaborating with other Centers of Excellence to bring you the Securing the Supply Chain Summit 2023: Building Pathways for Success – Securing Infrastructure, Supply Chain, and Energy Systems.
About the summit: The Securing the Supply Chain Summit 2023, on June 6 and 7, concentrates on building pathways for success by securing infrastructure, supply chain and energy systems. For the first time in our lifetimes, supply chains are front and center in the public’s consciousness. Our supply chains need to be resilient while still efficient and cost effective. Speakers from industry, policy organizations and education will delve into the challenges to the supply chain, how it is changing, and what will need to happen in the future.

What We Do?
The Center of Excellence for Homeland Security-Emergency Management (HSEM) helps state community and technical colleges (CTC) prepare a skilled workforce to help maintain our national security, ensure an effective response to all-hazard events through education and training initiatives, and build disaster resilience in our communities.
Our goal is to provide effective leadership and coordination that rapidly responds to the interests of educational institutions and workforce training needs of the HSEM (all-hazard) business and industry sectors across the state. From our offices at Pierce College in Lakewood, Washington, we accomplish this through working with a coalition of all 34 community and technical colleges, public agencies, and private sector organizations.
