“Sean was an American success story; he had come from nothing and made himself rich,” wrote Michael Lewis in The Blind Side, the best-selling book that inspired the major motion picture starring Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. The Blind Side tells the story of Michael Oher, a homeless teenager turned first round draft pick NFL football player, with the support and love of an unlikely adoptive family: the Tuohys. The Tuohy family’s life, as chronicled in The Blind Side went on to become a record-breaking Hollywood blockbuster that earned more than $300 million at the box office and became the number-one opening weekend for a sports film in history.

Sean Tuohy, Michael’s adoptive father, was a record-breaking basketball player before becoming a successful entrepreneur and NBA broadcaster.

Sean Tuohy knew what it meant to be the poor kid in a private school—he had been one himself. With sports as his “meal ticket” through high school and college, Sean left New Orleans for the University of Mississippi on a basketball scholarship. When Sean walked off the court after his final game, he had shattered every major SEC assists-related record and become a legend in the SEC hall of fame for leading the Ole Miss Rebels to their first and only Championship.

Drafted by the NBA’s New Jersey Nets in 1982, he opted to continue his career overseas before returning to the US to be with his father in his final days. He became a successful entrepreneur, building a company that now owns and operates 70 fast food restaurants, including Taco Bell and Long John Silver’s.

Sean is also in his ninth season as an NBA broadcaster for the Memphis Grizzlies, after several years as an analyst for radio broadcasts at Ole Miss as well as national broadcasts for Westwood One and CBS radio.

LeAdINg A COLLABORATIve TeAMgregg gregory, CSP What is the common thread between the Bubonic plague, a major hurricane and teamwork? They can all have a dramatic impact on a large number of people in a very short period of time. While teamwork may not have a direct and deadly impact, it does have an enormous affect on employees at all levels of the organization. Weak, poor or negative workplace relationships with teammates or leadership are among the top reasons employees leave a team. Do conflicts arise each time your team meets? How well do the team members relate to one another? Are they cooperative on projects? Do they work seamlessly as a cohesive group? This program will help you design a cooperative team that produces results by utilizing the most effective players to accomplish the mission in a productive timeframe. Key learning concepts include mutual accountability, team chemistry, behavior styles, the four-step team matriculation process, and the seven levels of team empowerment.Class Schedule: This class is a half-day class.Monday, November 8 8:00 am – noon

HAzMATIQ 4-STeP SySTeM Joe gorman and Cris Aguirre, HazMat IQ Traditional HazMat response is founded in the principles of industrial hygiene, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. While these foundations are valuable in the right setting, HazMatIQ has revolutionized first responder training by turning the focus away from mastering textbooks and onto the critical knowledge needed to make a simple decision: Can I make entry to effectuate a rescue?

To do this, a first responder needs to understand the environmental hazards and the required personal protection equipment. HazMatIQ training streamlines the size-up process and enables responders to maximize their response efficiency and effectiveness. The HazMatIQ 4 Step System is a response tool that incorporates a series of easy to understand job aids called Smart Charts. These charts enable responders to quickly assess risk and make a proper decision on how best to mitigate an incident. This system coaches responders through a process that virtually eliminates information overload.

The system incorporates the following: Step 1) Revolutionary Above the Line/Below the Line chemical size up using only the chemical name. This process works with every possible chemical. Step 2) Streamlined chemical research process based on only seven (7) chemical and physical properties. Step 3) Detection device selection: CGI, PID, FID, pH paper, Temperature gun, KI paper, etc. Step 4) Accurate PPE selection: Level A, Level B or SFPC (bunker gear). Gone are the days when Level A was erroneously donned “just to be safe.” HazMatIQ enables the user to correctly match protective ensembles with environmental hazards.

HazMatIQ system also incorporates training on how to safely and efficiently respond to unknown chemicals, mixtures, or chemical reactions when there is no information on chemical and physical properties available.

IMPROvINg yOuR eXeRCISeS - TuRN yOuR eXeRCISe uPSIde dOWN Steven Fruchtman BdR, an SAIC Company Exercises are the best way to ensure preparedness at the tactical response, emergency management and senior leadership levels. In most comprehensive programs, exercises build successively from discussion-based exercises to full scale exercises. Instead, bring your exercise program to the next level by turning it upside down and utilizing technology and reverse sequencing to engage participants, test tactical operations, reflect on those operations at the policy and management level, and connect senior leadership into the preparedness process. Exercises can be tiered so play action in each can be used as injects in the next. This dynamic atmosphere and approach provides the ability to meet specific operational goals that grant competence in all emergency functions by creating opportunities to learn at every level, using video clips from tactical drills to create realistic, personalized newscasts that stimulate and animate discussion-based exercises.

FBI BRIeFINg FOR eMeRgeNCy MANAgeRS ANd FIRST ReSPONdeRS

Steven Shepherd, Special Agent/Maritime Liaison

Federal Bureau of Investigation This presentation will focus on three topics: The Threat of Terrorism, The WMD Threat, and Maritime Terrorism.

The Threat of Terrorism

Looking back historically where it started domestically and its global impact and leading into the ideologies of terror groups and considerations for preparedness and response. Discussing international and domestic terrorism will show their differences and their similarities.

The WMD Threat

The FBI’s Headquarter Division has developed a formative counter-measure to the WMD threat with an emphasis on multi-jurisdictional prevention and far reaching investigative capability. The FBI has also created a conduit between the local first responder and the FBI’s network of global subject matter experts. Case studies will focus on recent East Coast cases.

Maritime Terrorism

Maritime threat considerations--whether the ship or port is the target or method of access this threat is a rapidly growing revelation. Mariners will tell you to get a fix on your destination before plotting the course. Who is charting the plan, what is the end game for maritime security, and how will the plan get us there.



BIOLOgICAL ANd CHeMICAL AgeNT deTeCTION Brian Oswalt, QTL Biosystems

This workshop will provide an overview of the history of biological warfare and an examination of specific agents and detection methods. In addition, there will be a general review of instrument technology for vapor detection of chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals and their applications as applied in the field using wireless technology for data communication and event management. The review will also discuss next generation hybrid technologies and their impact on the ability to improve the threat assessment.
