Local, state, and federal officials will convene in Lafayette this week as Louisiana Attorney General and current President of the bipartisan National Association of Attorneys General Jeff Landry will host the Presidential Initiative Summit, focusing on Emergency and Crisis Management.

Topics ranging from maintaining communications during a disaster, active shooter preparation and response, procurement laws and more will be addressed during the event.

Summit speakers will include:

  • U.S. Attorney David Joseph
  • Panama City Manager Mark McQueen (Retired Major General)
  • Former California Attorney General Bill Lockyer
