Welcome to The Greater Tampa Bay Association of Contingency Planners
EXAMINING THE REGULATORY LANDSCAPE
Key Business Continuity Laws, Standards and
Title IX of the PL 110-53 "Private Sector Preparedness Act"
Wednesday, October 1, 2008
Feather Sound Country Club, Clearwater, FL
The Greater Tampa Bay Chapter of Association of Contingency Planners, will host a presentation entitled "Examining the Regulatory Landscape," to address the growing number of local and national compliance requirements that have substantially added to the burden of building and testing preparedness plans. The presentation will be co-presented by nationally recognized experts Alan Berman, CBCP, MBCI, executive director for Disaster Recovery Institute and co-chair for the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation committee, and Donald Schmidt, ARM, chair of National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Technical Committee on Emergency Management and Business Continuity.
In 2007, a voluntary certification process for preparedness was adopted as part of the homeland security legislation (Public Law 110-53). According to Mr. Berman, "We can expect to see additional regulations and guidance from governments as well as industry sectors. Business continuity professionals and business owners need to be aware of the impact of these various rules upon their organization."
This timely presentation will cover Title IX of PL 110-53 "Private Sector Preparedness Act," as well as BS25999 and relevant current and proposed standards. Mr. Berman and Mr. Schmidt will discuss how small and medium-sized businesses can prepare to meet the challenge of compliance and will conclude with an interactive question and answer session.
The cost is $20 per person and includes a continental breakfast. Seating is limited to 100. For more information and to register for this special event, go to http://greatertampabay.acp-international.com/press_events.htm.
