As executive director, Dordal will oversee the production of innovative technologies and processes that will enhance educational initiatives, business enterprises, and government functions related to emergency response and critical infrastructure protection.

“P3I will leverage the strengths and investments of the BRAC RTF, FTCC and NAVTECH to apply advanced visualization and other innovative technologies and processes to enhance innovation in our schools; create jobs and connect business and industry; and support government agencies,” said Dordal.
