Craig's ability to engage an audience with humor and life application is critical. Craig has demonstrated on multiple occasions this ability to engage the audience to produce the outcome desired by the conference/summit host.
Our professional association, mostly through joint presentations continues to be a highlight of my career. From representing FEMA to presenting at the International Disaster and Emergency Resilience conferences it is always a pleasure to be associated with Craig.

Craig has been Session Chairman and speaker for various IDER conferences (International Disaster and Emergency Resilience conferences)since 2004. One of particular note was on the theme of Government Reliance on NGOs during disaster response. He was a most professional Session Chair and did much to not only organise his own session but also to assist with the overall IDER programme development. He was a great ambassador for Feed The Children and continues to be so in his current position as Director of Field Services, The Global FoodBanking Network and for that matter for the United States, and one whom his country should be justly proud.
Since 2004 Craig Nemitz has been a committee member and active speaker at the International Disaster and Emergency Resilience Annual Conferences
