Convention: Learn Strategies for Disaster Response

Executives at the Marketing & Distribution Convention in San Diego will hear from Paul Mullet, CEO of Excel Industries in Hesston, Kan., who led his company through the aftermath of a plant shooting in February that killed three and wounded a dozen more.

Mullet’s story includes not only the devastation of the violence but also the challenges of recovering when the company’s campus was inaccessible for days.

After he speaks, members also will hear from a representative from Pinkerton, a security and risk management firm that consulted with Excel after the shooting. Members will learn strategies for mitigating risks at their own work sites and preparing for the possibility.

Association former President Bill Schmidtgall, who has worked with Mullet, will moderate the discussion.
