The Gate 15 Interview EP 45. Curt Tilley, DHS Office of Bombing Prevention

In this episode of The Gate 15 Interview, Andy Jabbour talks with Mark Herrera, Director of Education for the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) and more importantly, with special guest, his granddaughter, Miss Kaylani Herrera, the reigning New Mexico Cinderella State Tot.In the discussion we break from our usual type of Interview to pause and think about talking to our friends and loved ones about having an appropriate security mindset as we head into summer. As we look towards a season of mass gatherings, special events, travel and other situations that may experience security incidents, it’s important to help our loved ones think about the potential of threats, being prepared, and having an age-appropriate security mindset. Mark, Kaylani and Andy address: The importance of threat and situational awareness. How to prepare family, not scare them. Age-appropriate security conversations. School safety. And we play Three Questions with Kaylani! Mark is the Director of Safety and Security for the International Association of Venue Managers and recognized as one of the top 25 most influential leaders in the meetings and event industry. In addition, as the Director of Safety and Security for the International Association of Venue Managers, Herrera represents the Department of Homeland Security Office of Infrastructure Protection as the current Chair for the Public Assembly Facility Sub-Sector Council. Herrera is also a seasoned law enforcement officer and trainer, having spent twenty years with the Hobbs, New Mexico, Police Department. See Mark on LinkedIn for his complete bio. Mark on Instagram. Miss Kaylani’s Bio. Hi, everyone, my name is Kaylani Herrera. I’m seven years old, currently in the second grade and attend Saint Helena Catholic school. I am your 2023-2024 NM Cinderella state Tot. I recently started competing in the natural pageant world. At my first pageant I was crowned the Lea County overall tot, from there I went on to compete at the state level pageant that was held in June and won the overall New Mexico tot ages 4-6 along with New Mexico State talent competition and first alternate cameo. When I am not busy fulfilling my queen duties, I also am a dancer and Gymnast. I recently competed in my first gymnastics meet and won 4th place overall for my age division. I enjoy spending time with my sister and parents, playing with my dog Dallas as well as talking with my Gpa (Mark Herrera) about how to make the world a safer place.
