THE REGIONAL BRIEFINGS SYMPOSIUM
Join us in Burlington, MA on November 2nd and 3rd for our first regional Briefings! In the past, we’ve had the honor of traveling the country to train the Standard Response Protocol and the Standard Reunification Method, and now we’re bringing this training to our first-ever Regional Briefings Symposium.
Early this year we decided to take this on the road, and mentioned it to some of the wonderful folks we’ve met across the country. Then something cool happened. They offered a venue in their town! We’re so excited to host the first regional Briefings in New England thanks to our friend, Glen Mills, and the Burlington Police Department.
The Briefings are an amazing opportunity to meet and connect with individuals who work in schools, districts, departments, agencies, and organizations across the country. Participants come away from the Briefings with actionable insights and takeaways from The “I Love U Guys” Foundation speakers, and have a chance to build strong connections to help accomplish them.
We will explore timely topics such as being prepared for small or large incidents, lessons learned from prior incidents, recovery after a crisis, as well as training on the Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method.
This is a “must-have” two days of learning, so please join us!
SPEAKERS AND SESSIONS
This 2-day symposium fosters an environment for knowledge-sharing, relationship building, hands-on training and countless actionable insights that you can put to use as soon as you leave.
Day 1 highlights timely and fresh presentations and discussions from our Foundation Speakers, and Day 2 will feature our Full-Day SRP/SRM Train the Trainer Workshop.

THE SESSIONS
Platte Canyon Debrief
This presentation explores the interactions during the Platte Canyon High School events between a negotiator, Stacy Avila, and a 16 year old girl being held hostage. It's a powerful affirmation of a negotiator and a victim's father, John-Michael Keyes, sharing their experiences on that day and the positive outcomes and protocols that are impacting schools across the globe as a result of tragedy.
Anticipating The Unthinkable
Carly Posey tells her story of what happened inside Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. She shares what went wrong and right on that day and the years to follow. Carly shares her perspective on the events, how a school community can be proactive and be prepared for the unthinkable, and she gives real solutions on school safety and recovery in the aftermath of a crisis.
Full-Day SRP/SRM Train the Trainer Workshop
The Full-Day Workshop introduces the history, concepts and functionality of the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and the Standard Reunification Method (SRM), including implementation of the programs, team training, advanced questions, and plenty of opportunities for networking with your peers. Participants will come away from this workshop able to train others within their organization on the SRP and the SRM.
THE SPEAKERS
Learn from people who have been there. Our speakers share experiences and lessons learned in a way that will inspire you to take action and prepare for the unthinkable. They share their stories with a blend of emotion and tangible paths forward that illustrate the importance of planning and preparing.
