Homeland Security specialist to discuss
Nassau County emergency planning at MNC 17 luncheon
"Cos" Cosgrove
Dr. “Cos” Cosgrove, a specialist in homeland security and a member of the Nassau County Emergency Management Department, will discuss emergency planning at the Men’s Newcomers Club’s luncheon, Thursday, March 17, at the Fernandina Beach Golf Club. He replaces the originally announced Tim Cooper, department manager.
Dr. Cosgrove holds a doctorate in Homeland Security. His doctoral studies focused on the role of social media in rural emergency management. He attended West Virginia University on an Army scholarship, which lead to 21 years of international service in the infantry and Special Forces (Green Berets).
In the emergency management field, Cos has been involved in Search and Rescue (both combat and civilian), conducted humanitarian relief operations in Central America (hurricane recovery and land mine removal), established and ran a refugee camp in Iraq, and consulted for the FBI.
There will be a social half-hour beginning at 11:30 a.m. At noon there will be a short business meeting followed by a buffet lunch. Our luncheons are open to members who may also register one male guest, and to non-member males who are considering joining the club.
The Club expects all attendees to be fully vaccinated from COVID 19.
