Homeland Security Professor Presents in Las Vegas

Professor Yvette Aguiar who recently joined the Long Island Business Institute Homeland Security program was selected by the prestigious Contingency Planning and Management (CPM) organization to appear at their 2010 West Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. CPM is an organization dedicated to business continuity and disaster planning. Since the September 11, 2001 events, strategic contingency planning has moved from reactive planning to the proactive, safeguarding approach. Organizations need to ensure that they are prepared for unexpected and unusual occurrences that threaten their staff and operations.




They include fires, explosions, terrorists threats, manmade or natural disasters, and criminal acts. Professor Aguiar’s training presentation was well received. She presented on the military risk management model – CARVER plus Shock. The risk management model was recently declassified by the U.S. Military for use by both public and private business sectors.



Professor Aguair is a candidate at North Central University. She holds a Master and B.S. degree from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. She also holds the coveted security distinction, Certified Protection Professional (CPP). Recently, Professor Aguiar had the distinct honor of being designated a delegate, and will be presenting at the 2010 World Business Continuity Management Conference in November.
