“I just wanted to extend my congratulations to you and the entire TISP team for the great job you did on the 5th Annual TISP Congress on Critical Infrastructure Resilience. The speakers and exhibitors were excellent and all who attended learned much. Too often, efforts to pull this off successfully go unnoticed and unacknowledged,
and I just could not let that happen.”
