DENISE AMBER LEE TRAGEDY

Nathan Lee, founder and President of the Denise Amber Lee Foundation, and Geoff Weiss, dispatch supervisor for the San Diego Sheriff’s Department tie together the elements of the Denise Amber Lee tragedy. A positive and uplifting presentation, students will learn of the obvious failures that day to the more in-depth concepts such as leadership, hiring, training and encouraging employees in a communications center.

The Denise Amber Lee Foundation was launched in June 2008 as a result of the January 2008 tragic abduction and murder of Denise. The Foundation is a non-profit initiative of Denise’s widowed husband, Nathan, who felt the need to honor the memory of his beloved wife. The amazing response of the community and individuals to this senseless tragedy touched Nathan and his family so deeply that he felt compelled to return that support by helping improve the 911 system.
