Upcoming Public Program: "Are We Safer?"
Upcoming Public Program: "Are We Safer?"
We are pleased to present the next program in our When the World Changes digital conversation series at 2 p.m. ET on Monday, November 9.
Former secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and 9/11 Memorial & Museum trustee Jeh Johnson will lead a panel discussion about the changing threat environment on U.S. soil nearly 20 years after 9/11.
In recent years, the number of foreign terrorist attacks against the United States has decreased. Given this, Secretary Johnson asks our distinguished panelists to reflect upon whether Americans are really safer now, or has the threat changed? Secretary Johnson is joined by former Acting Director of the CIA Michael Morell, former Congresswoman and now Director, President and CEO of the Wilson Center Jane Harman, Admiral William H. McRaven, U.S. Navy (Ret.), and NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller.
This program is offered in conjunction with the third annual 9/11 Memorial & Museum Summit on Security, presented by Fiserv, which brings together many of the world's leading voices from across the public and private sectors to build on the discussion of how we can all make our companies, cities, and nations safer.
Live captioning will be provided.
