About

The Homeland Security Experts Group (HSEG) is an independent, nonpartisan group of homeland security policy and counter-terrorism experts who convene periodically to discuss issues in depth, share information and ideas with the Secretary of Homeland Security, government agencies and policymakers, increase awareness of the evolving risks facing our nation, and help make our country safer. The HSEG is co-chaired by former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff and former Congresswoman Jane Harman.

OUR FORUM

The group works to put on the annual Homeland Security Enterprise Forum, with a mission to bring voices of United States government agencies, the private sector, and civil-society all together in one summit to engage in meaningful, solutions-focused dialogue. The forum showcases how multi-disciplinary the homeland security enterprise space truly is.
