Andrea Davis, President and CEO of The Resiliency Initiative, was a featured speaker at the Region 6 Higher Education Collaborative Summit, held February 4–5 at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

Davis participated in two dynamic panel discussions focused on advancing the future of emergency management: “From Classroom to Career: Bridging Gaps Through Experiential Learning”, which explored how hands-on experience is essential in preparing the next generation of emergency management professionals, and the Emergency Management Career Panel, where she offered real-world insights into building a meaningful and impactful career in the field.

The event brought together students, educators, and practitioners from across the region to share ideas, foster collaboration, and support the development of resilient leadership across the emergency management sector.
