By bringing the states together to work as a single group, the Consortium provides a year round platform for large scale discussions that affect more that a single state. Working with government, the private sector can understand more clearly who the people are who own the problem and work with them to develop a long-term solution.” Mike Hughes Manager of State of Maryland Northrop Grumman
