Time:  11:30 AM

Speaker: Dr. Joe Boone with the CDC
 
Topic: CDC Roles and Missions

The NDIA Georgia Chapter Board Members would like to invite you to attend the NDIA Georgia Chapter Meeting and Lunch at the SAIC Facility.  This gathering will allow members to meet in a relaxed atmosphere, network and hear Dr. Joe Boone from the CDC speak.  NDIA members and their guests are welcome.  Please join us in making 2010 better than last year.  

Dr. Joe Boone has over thirty years of experience working for and managing the capability development and maturity of our national Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and an increasingly crucial element of our national security strategy.  This presentation will summarize the organizational and capability development of the CDC including current roles and missions, methodologies by which these are achieved, and outline areas the CDC considers to be of greatest concern to public health and national security today. This will no doubt be a very illuminating presentation and time will be allotted for individual questions following the presentation.

 Mission Statement

 The Greater Atlanta Chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association will support the programs and activities of the national association by

1. Providing a legal and ethical forum for the interchange of ideas between the government and industry offering a means for liaison with and for local government agencies and personnel,

2. encouraging and facilitating the exchange of information between industry and government with particular reference to national security and defense preparedness. Our primary areas of interest are the business and technical aspects of the government-industry relationship, encompassing government policies and practices in the entire acquisition process, including research and development, procurement, logistics support, and many technical areas,

3. promoting communication between industry, Government, academic and research facilities,

4. pursuing an active program in support of association membership, recruitment, and retention, and providing a value-added service to members.

From small businesses to prime contractors, if your company is a part of the defense/homeland security industry, you have a place in NDIA.  By joining, your company and its products or services become more marketable because of the knowledge, visibility, and contacts gained.  Plus, you can help shape the government policy the association voices, and you are assured you support an organization committed to defense/homeland security industrial readiness
