Dewberry Joins Greater Washington Board of Trade Emergency Preparedness Committee
Fairfax, VA
Dewberry, a leading professional services firm, has recently joined the Greater Washington Board of Trade Emergency Preparedness Committee. The committee is dedicated to advancing emergency preparedness and business continuity for its members and the greater Washington, D.C., area.
“We are looking forward to being a part of this committee and contributing to the Board of Trade’s mission,” says Larry Zensinger, Dewberry’s vice president and director of homeland security. “Dewberry has been a member of the Board of Trade for many years. Sharing our broad experience in emergency preparedness with the committee was a natural fit.”
According to the Board of Trade, it is working to improve the region’s preparedness by developing programs and policies that integrate the private sector into regional emergency response planning. In addition, it strives to increase awareness of business continuity issues, educate business leaders on the region’s pressing issues, and improve public-private partnerships between government, nonprofit and business leaders.
Zensinger will represent Dewberry on the Emergency Preparedness Committee, as he has been integrally involved in Dewberry’s responsibilities to federal, state and local governments, as well as private entity clients, in the areas of emergency planning, training and exercising, disaster response and recovery, and hazard mitigation planning. Prior to joining Dewberry, Zensinger was affiliated with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he managed FEMA’s disaster assistance and recovery programs.
