Guest Speaker
Geoffrey Swift

Attention Granite State Chapter members and guests:

Please join us for our April Lunch & Learn where Geoffrey Swift, the Vice President for Finance and Administration and Treasurer of Bates College in Lewiston, Maine will present on a real-life emergency response situation. The mass shooting in Lewiston in October last year was very hard to watch unfold on the news and online. Geoffrey had an entire college full of students he had to protect with no warning. Join us and hear Geoffrey talk about how their planning worked (or didn’t work) and what lessons they learned when they had to put their plan into action.

The link will go live at 11:30 am and the presentation willbegin at 12:00pm sharp! Hope you can join us for this special event!
