Leadership

"The All Hazards Consortium is a model for regional collaboration – with commitment and integrity to their organizations -- AHC is a 'groups of groups' whose public and private members are actively engaged in defining what each wants to get done, seeking shared objectives, and working collectively toward the common good. ”

Tom Lockwood
Senior Advisor, DHS

The leadership of the All Hazards Consortium is comprised of the Board of Directors, a Regional Executive Advisory Group (REAG), the Working Group Advisory Committee, and the Executive Director. All are supported by the AHC Program Management Office (PMO) staff and volunteers.
