Emily Attended the OSAC Securities Professionals’ Event

Emily attended the OSAC securities professionals’ event at the US Ambassador’s residence Winfield House.

Emily participated in the OSAC event with Heads of Security from the major US Corporations operating in London on the evening of the Queen of England’s passing.  Spending time in the US Ambassador’s residence is always special given the history of the property in Regent’s Park, London.  Being there on the evening of the Queen’s passing was monumental historically as the event was curtailed once the Queen’s death was announced.

The Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) was created in 1985 under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to promote security cooperation between American private-sector interests worldwide and the U.S. Department of State. OSAC has developed into an enormously successful joint venture, with U.S. companies and organizations receiving the tools they need to cope with security issues in a foreign environment. OSAC is a free service to U.S.-based or incorporated private sector organizations with overseas operations.

OSAC promotes effective cooperation by working to assist the U.S. private sector to better anticipate security issues, including identifying and tracking threats, particularly those targeting private sector personnel, facilities, investments, interests, and intellectual property. In addition to providing timely and actionable security information, OSAC also aids in the development of new markets with accurate assessments of current and future security environments. Ensuring that critical security information is shared with those who need it, when they need it, OSAC is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to answer constituents’ questions with expert analysis of rapidly evolving security challenges overseas.
