Private Sector
The private sector partners are defined as two groups:
- Sellers and service providers who provide products, services and solutions to government and businesses; usually very visible to government
- Owners and operators of business and industry who employ the people, operate the business and are needed in the overall regional planning and coordination efforts; usually not very visible to government
The private sector participates in a variety of ways from simply receiving the AHC newsletter; to providing subject matter expertise to the states; to attending regional events; to presenting solutions; to becoming a fully engaged member involved in the AHC year-round collaboration process. “Business to business” opportunities are also many - and encouraged - as both small firms and large firms have roles to play in addressing the needs of the states as well as with each other.
Who are they?
Major employers, asset owners, service providers, manufacturers, and solution providers from the industries of finance, chemical, oil/petroleum, agriculture, transportation, energy, water, fire, police, telecommunications, shipping/postal, nuclear, public health, defense, gas, hospitals, insurance, healthcare, lodging, retail, information technology, and others…

Testimonials
- “In today’s state and local government marketplace, the private sector needs a place to go to become involved in the discussions with government leadership. The All Hazards Consortium provides this environment. Having been there since the beginning, Motorola has seen the Forum grow and adapt to meet the needs of state governments in a way that the private sector can become engaged in.” Kelly Kirwan Vice President State/Local Government/Commercial Markets Division Motorola
- “The All Hazards Consortium has become a unique community that actually provides regional collaboration between the states. This has forged a new model in how the solutions to the region’s issues are co-developed with government.” Christine Sumner Director, State/Local Government Marketing Services CISCO Systems
- “The All Hazards Consortium allows large federal integrators like Northrop to find a more effective role in the state and local government marketplace. 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
