Exclusively represented by <a href="http://www.leadingauthorities.com/" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">Leading Authorities speakers bureau</a>, she is an engaging presenter who speaks with authority on issues from a Washington insider's perspective.</font></p><p style="margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><strong>In the Circle of Trust.</strong> Neely talks about being a member of Secretary Ridge's inner circle from the White House to the new department. She describes playing a key part in the decision-making that led to new security measures that the public participates in every day, whether at airports, major bridges, tunnels, ports, chemical sites, National Parks, highways, or train stations. She articulates how she shaped the policy of threat warnings, national preparedness and response, visa issuance, privacy rights, and information sharing. Audiences get a first-hand account of what it is like to be special assistant to the president for Homeland Security in the White House and then assistant secretary for public affairs in the department, and the gravity of being responsible for the public face of the homeland security. She discusses the management of everything from threat announcements, to branding, to public education campaigns, to crisis communications. BS</font>
