At noon on Wednesday, August 27, a panel of partners from HORNE, a professional services firm, will reflect on their groundbreaking role in Mississippi’s recovery following Hurricane Katrina. As the 20th anniversary of the storm approaches, Bryan McDonald, Scott Keller, Alethia Thomas, Timothy Smith, and Neil Ford will discuss how HORNE helped lead one of the first major collaborations between government and the private sector to manage disaster recovery in the state—a model that has since shaped efforts nationwide. This program will take place in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Two Mississippi Museums and will stream live on the MDAH Facebook page and YouTube channel. Visitors are also encouraged to view Hurricane Katrina: Mississippi Remembers, Photographs by Melody Golding, a special exhibit currently on display at the museums.
