Homeland Security & Defense Business Council

The Councils annual National Conversation is an opportunity for Members and government officials to discuss key topics of mutual interest in a more widely-attended event that is open to the press. The organizations Annual Dinner, also open to the press, is held each December and provides a business forum in a holiday atmosphere in which its senior executive members and government officials with whom the Council has engaged with meet in peer-to-peer informal networking to celebrate accomplishments in the Homeland Security space over the past year. The event also honors outstanding homeland security enterprise public officials with its annual Service Achievement Award. Due to the pandemic, this year the event was not held.

The Council sponsors both in-the-DC-region and out-of-town visits to critical government homeland security facilities for members to meet with and learn more about the on-ground operational challenges in the Homeland Security and law enforcement environment. These Tours include high-level briefings, facility tours, and roundtable discussions.
