Biography
John Laye is Managing Partner and Principal Consultant of Contingency Management Consultants with a practice exclusively in emergency management, recovery and mitigation. Beginning in 1982, he continues on course development teams and adjunct faculty for what is now the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Emergency Management Institute. Beginning in 1971, he was a project manager; first in the U.S. Navy and then for county Departments of Public Health, where he conducted many exercises of all three types, and concedes that full-scale field exercises were the most engaging.

His experiences while managing the medical and health aspects of multiple casualty events convinced him that integrated planning and training for such events is essential. To test plans and to train those who must implement them, there is no better way than management exercises, provided participants clearly understand they are being trained --only the plan is being tested.

John Laye has an MS in Management from the University of Southern California and a BA in Political Science from the US Naval Postgraduate School. His colleagues voted him a Fellow of the Business Continuity Institute in 1997, and a Certified Management Consultant in 1990. He is listed in Who’s Who in America, and wrote the book Avoiding Disaster. Last December he received the Business Recovery Managers Association’s Award of Excellence.

He instructs several segment of the Integrated Emergency Management Courses at the U.S. National Emergency Training Center. All are exercise-based courses. He is also Director Emeritus of the business continuity certificate extension program at University of California, and will also instruct at California State University Sonoma beginning in the summer of 2004.
