Private Sector Subcommittee The CEPP leads a Private Sector Subcommittee that reports to the State's Homeland Security All-Hazards Senior Advisory Committee (HSAC). The HSAC is chaired by the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Safety.
The Private Sector Subcommittee meets quarterly and is comprised of private and public stakeholders interested in strengthening joint emergency plans in Colorado. We work on private sector issues of concern during emergencies, such as credentialing, information sharing, reentry programs for business, etc. In 2021, our focus is ensuring private sector concerns are heard as we distribute vaccines and re-open the economy. We welcome large and small businesses, and partners who chair focused groups such as the Colorado Retail Council and the Colorado Hotel and Lodging Association. If you want to find out more or are interested in joining this group, please contact Rebecca Rouse at info@thecepp.org. |
