Other featured speakers are Mark Borkowski, Assistant Commissioner of the DHS/Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Technology Innovation and Acquisition; political figure and TV personality Fred Thompson; and best-selling author Brad Thor.
Mr. Romanowich is a member of SIA's Board of Directors, chairman of SIA's Critical Infrastructure Protection Working Group, and received SIA’s “2011 Statesman Award,” the highest honour given to a member each year. Mr. Romanowich is also chairing SIA’s Perimeter Security Subcommittee for establishing security equipment performance and operational standards.
