- The International Institute for Homeland Security, Defense and Restoration
The International Institute for Homeland Security, Defense and Restoration (or The International Institute for short) is a public/private not-for-profit 501c (3) organization with the mission of "Partnering with the World for Security, Peace and Economic Development." The International Institute, established as an outgrowth of discussions among international leaders in industry, government and academia, provides the international forum for the exchange of strategic counter terrorism best practices.
The International Institute was established in 2004 and seeded by a Congress appropriation in FY'06. Congressman Jerry Lewis (politician) strongly supports the mission and goals of The International Institute.
