The National Dialogue on the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review begins today.

We're looking forward to having you join us at

http://www.homelandsecuritydialogue.org

Over the next week, you will have the opportunity to view and weigh in on proposals being made by DHS for inclusion in the final Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, as well as to suggest your own alternatives, and rate and tag the alternatives suggested by others. The material you will review is the actual work product being considered by the six DHS study groups who are conducting the QHSR. DHS will produce a report based on the results of its review for submission to Congress on December 31, 2009.

Your input will allow DHS to identify the ideas and priorities that are of key importance to stakeholders like you across the country. This National Dialogue is a series of three iterative week-long engagements, and your participation in all three is greatly encouraged. Although you will have two more chances to participate, this first Dialogue closes on midnight EDT on August 9th, 2009. Join the Dialogue now and make sure your feedback is included!

Below is an invitation for you to forward to your network. Please hit "Forward" in your e-mail client and send it to any friends, colleagues, or contacts in your network who might make a valuable contribution to this discussion. The invitation also features a short video message from Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano about the potential impact of this unique opportunity for you to inform a key homeland security policy review process. Check out the video, and please pass this invitation on widely.

Then, come join in the Dialogue!

See you online,
