(In addition to the ISAC initiative, Real Estate Media is currently preparing the first issue of Property Protection Report, a monthly newsletter exploring how commercial real estate is affected by developments on the homeland security front. The newsletter launches in March.)
GlobeSt.com: What is the genealogy of ISAC?
DeBoer: The Roundtable determined shortly after Sept. 11 that there was an information gap between our industry and federal security officials. We believed the government did not perceive real estate as a critical infrastructure industry such as the telecom, food or financial industries. We saw the need to develop a relationship with the federal government and get this communication going. We talked with federal officials and our trade-association partners, and all of those conversations resulted in ISAC.
