The CERT Program Managers Seminar has been developed to assist CERT program managers with existing programs and to provide sound principles and tools for new CERT programs to get started and sustain themselves. This seminar includes instruction on basic program management, program budgeting and financing, marketing and strategies for keeping valuable current CERT members engaged in the program. With this one day course CERT program managers will spend valuable time with other program managers comparing best practices and evaluating their own local CERT program based on the basic management principles presented. The participant will hear best practices, review case studies and receive a CD full of tools to improve or support their CERT program.
