2009 Senior Fellows

HSPI Senior Fellows are a distinguished group of homeland security leaders drawn from government, academia and the non-profit and private sectors, with expertise in areas ranging from bioterrorism to critical infrastructure protection to intelligence. Throughout the year, Fellows participate in roundtable sessions with senior government officials, and collaborate to publish policy papers, including issue briefs that speak to the day's most pressing homeland security challenges. Senior Fellows are selected based upon individual expertise not their professional affiliation.

Note: Senior Fellows are not Homeland Security Policy Institute employees. Please use the below hyperlinks to individual web pages for any available contact information.
