February 12, 2015 Special Session
We look forward to seeing you at a special session of our Homeland Security Task Force
(HSTF) on Thursday, 12 February at the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. The meeting runs from 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM,
followed by an optional tour of the FBI Museum. Please arrive by 7:30 AM.
We are honored to hosted by the FBI and to be joined by many of the key leaders in the
nation’s fight against terrorism. This session will be held in the FBI’s Strategic Information and
Operations Center (SIOC). The SIOC is the Bureau’s global watch and communications center.
It operates around the clock to maintain enterprise-wide situational awareness and to provide FBI
leadership with strategic information by serving as a clearinghouse to collect, process, and
disseminate information in a timely manner. FBI Executive Assistant Director for Intelligence
Eric Velez-Villar will kick off the meeting.
Our first order of business will be to do a quick update on the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 and the work of Real Estate Information Sharing and
Analysis Center (RE-ISAC).
Counterterrorism is a top priority for the FBI. To provide us with an in-depth
understanding of the current global threat picture and the Bureau’s efforts to detect and disrupt
terrorists and their organizations, we are honored to be joined by the FBI’s Assistant Director of
Counterterrorism, Michael Steinbach.
The threat of cyber terrorism is in the news daily and is a key focus of the FBI. As the
commercial facilities sector grapples with the dynamics of this threat, we are pleased to be joined
by Eric Sporre, Section Chief, Cyber Division
Counterintelligence is an important element of combating terrorism. As the lead agency
for exposing, preventing, and investigating intelligence activities on U.S. soil, Deputy Assistant
Director for Counterintelligence, Rick Kollmar will brief us on the FBI’s work to protect against
potential threats by proactively gathering information and intelligence.
In the wake of a series of enormous storms over the past few years, natural catastrophe
risks continue to be a challenge for building owners. Jennifer Francis, Ph.D., Research
Professor, Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, Rutgers University will brief us on major
recent climactic changes in the Northern Hemisphere that are likely to have serious repercussions
on critical infrastructure, including commercial real estate.
We will continue the meeting with a working luncheon discussion on workplace violence
with Andre Simons, Unit Chief, Behavioral Analysis Unit 2, FBI.
The meeting will conclude with an optional tour of the FBI Museum.
Enclosed please find an agenda for the meeting and biographies for our discussion
leaders and participants.
