NEW - Counter-Terrorism Liaison Program

The New Mexico Hospitality Association will be bringing the New Mexico All Source Intelligence Center (NMASIC) to educate and train our members and their staff, in identifying and reporting suspicious actives and behaviors. Which may indicate planning, intent, actual criminal or terrorist activity. You will be provided with a baseline training on how to utilize these tools and engage the NMASIC on this important initiative to protect our homeland.

In January 2018, NMHA hosted a similar workshop focused on situational awareness and active shooter prevention at our TRENDS Conference & Annual Meeting. Because we received such positive responses to the seminar, we wanted to provide another seminar so members and industry professionals can benefit from this important content.

Date: Wednesday, Sept. 26
Time: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Member Pricing: FREE
