Keynote speaker: Jerry Jarrell, former director of the National Hurricane Center
Jerry JerrellTo ensure that our clients receive a comprehensive approach to preparing for this year’s hurricane season, we invited a special keynote speaker who will help you prepare while appreciating the risks involved: Jerry Jarrell, the former director of the National Hurricane Center, will provide insight into the 2006 hurricane season, its potential for disruptions to businesses, and suggestions for minimizing the impact. Prior to his directorship, he served as the chairman of a committee to coordinate Federal requirements for hurricane research — his specialty being hurricane and typhoon risk assessment and risk containment. The current national plan for hurricane-related research came out of that committee under Mr. Jarrell's leadership.
