Lunch & Learn

Networking begins at 11:30 am, Speaker, Lexie Andrews and Ed Leachman with LSU/SDMI, will begin promptly at noon.
Located at the main campus of Louisiana State University, the Center for Business Preparedness (CBP) was established by SDMI to bridge the gap between academic research, business preparedness, and continuity of operations.  Specifically the Center focuses on applying proven business management techniques to the challenge of disaster preparedness and community resilience.  Currently, the field of preparedness studies lacks the baseline metrics and business benchmarks needed to promote the value of preparedness to small businesses.  Therefore, the Center is committed to promoting a cultural shift in the value of preparedness through a national initiative in small business preparedness.
Staff from LSU/SDMI will be covering topics like what disasters small businesses are susceptible to on a daily basis, tools to use, how to put a plan together, etc. You won't want to miss this informative program.
