We wish to thank symposium attendees for the wealth of knowledge and experience they bring to this forum. Over the next three days, we intend to use this expertise to examine the role of intelligence in supporting the relationship between civil and military organizations as they confront common problems impacting the region. As recent events in Haiti and Chile demonstrate, effective collective response is dependent on the sharing of accurate and timely information among numerous military and civilian entities. During this symposium, we will examine the challenges of providing and using information in an increasingly complex environment and explore ways of successfully dealing with these challenges. We encourage you to participate fully. Please take advantage of the opportunities to address the panelists during the question and answer periods and to network with your fellow attendees. We especially look forward to meaningful dialogue and discussion during the question and answer sessions after each panel. Our goal is to offer all participants a venue to discuss and expand their understanding of important regional and global issues, and to examine how intelligence can make the most valuable contribution in this new era. Again, welcome. Sincerely, Brig Gen Dash Jamieson, USAF RADM David R.
