H-II - 20 Years: Humanitarian Operations To Entertainment Industry

Website: http://www.H-II.org

How many times have you watched a member of the arts and entertainment industry take on a controversial issue, only to get torn apart for speaking outside of their field of expertise? Though we all have the deepest appreciation for our artists who contribute to fundraising and advocacy efforts, we all know that being a non expert with an opinion is another thing. Today, this landscape is changing, as artists through the United Nations Arts Initiative [1] are bringing the worlds top experts to the stage, providing access to peer reviewed materials and analysis for strategic planning, project development and conflict resolution. It's called focused on "The Bottom Line."

Country Music Association Artist Stephen Michael Apatow Aka H-II, [2] founder of the United Nations Arts Initiative, has now taken the lead with 20 years of experience with humanitarian development and advocacy efforts. His track record speaks for itself and includes:

-- Keynote Speaker: The Future of Biodetection Systems - Final Workshop Analysis: The Future of Biodetection Systems Workshop was held to bring together industry, academia, national labs, and federal agency personnel in an interactive process, to develop a roadmap for research and development investment in biodetection. Sponsored by Los Alamos National Laboratory, September 26 & 27 2006. [3] -- DNA-based Detection Technologies: Powerpoint Presentation. [4]

-- Member of the Scientific Committee of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Tourist Health and Travel Medicine, 2005: Fifth European Conference on Travel Medicine. [5]

[6]

-- Keynote Speaker: 8th annual meeting of the Association of Veterinary Biologics Companies (AVBC), 5 November 2003. [7]

Apatow, Humanitarian Resource Institute, was a reference point for agricultural security. [9]
