The Military, DVI & Dignitaries

• DVI teams from around the world.
• Dignitaries from around the world.
Reflections
• Those in leadership positions need to quickly mesh together and work to the same outcome.
• Communication vital in DVI process – public education before the event?
• Dignitaries need management too – need to have prepared protocols.
