The National Emergency Management Executive Academy
In collaboration with academia, renowned practitioners and industry leaders, Emergency Management Institute (EMI) has created the National Emergency Management Executive Academy to produce a comprehensive and cutting-edge curriculum supporting the advancement of strategic and policy level executive leadership.
The National Emergency Management Executive Academy provides an ideal setting for a diverse representation of senior emergency management executives to come together and explore contemporary and emerging 21st century challenges. The program hones strategic leadership and critical thinking for senior executives involved with multi-jurisdictional, national, and international homeland security and emergency management policy development and decision making responsibilities. Participants work collaboratively on capstone projects. These projects are the cohort’s opportunity to leave a lasting impact, leveraging the wealth of knowledge they bring to the academy and applying the new knowledge they are acquiring to forge a path toward improving the processes, practice and profession of emergency management.
If you have a suggestion for a specific emergency management challenge that you would like an executive cohort team to consider for their Academy capstone project, please email FEMA-EMPP-Executive-Academy@fema.dhs.gov.
Target Audience
The Executive Academy is designed for emergency management senior executives in State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial; non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academic institutions, and private sector entities. Ideal candidates will serve on major commissions and task forces and/or be responsible for decisions that have a significant effect on policy.
The audience may include, but is not limited to:
- Emergency management and homeland security directors or advisors leading in local, state, multijurisdictional, or large metropolitan areas;

Stop the Spaceport on the
Gullah/Geechee Coast!

The Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition is
standing with 100 Miles, Protect Cumberland Island, and
many other individuals and groups in opposition to this spaceport being
licensed and erected. There are a number of negative environmental
impacts that will take place that have not been fully examined nor considered
in the environmental impact statement. In addition
to that, cultural heritage has been completely left out of consideration as Queen
Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah/Geechee Nation (www.QueenQuet.com)
made clear during her statement at the public hearing:
She made this statement after
hearing the details from the representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that
presented on the process that would allow a spaceport to be built and operated:
If you would like additional
facts about the spaceport, please go to https://www.spaceportfacts.org/.
If you support protecting
public lands, please go to http://protectcumberlandisland.org/
If you want to continue to
protect the lands of the Gullah/Geechee Nation's coast,
you should become a member of the Gullah/Geechee Sea
Island Coalition which you can learn more about at www.GullahGeechee.net
and join online at www.GullahGeechee.biz.
Please stand up and speak out
with us and stop the Camden Spaceport!
