Association of Contingency Planners
NY Capital Region
ABOUT US
The Association of Contingency
Planners (ACP) NY Capital Region Chapter was formed in May, 2005 and was the first ACP chapter in New York State. The Chapter services the NY Capital Region and surrounding areas.
MISSION STATEMENT
ACP is the premier organization for contingency planners, business continuity professionals and emergency managers. ACP provides members an excellent information exchange experience as well as opportunities to set trends in the emergency response and disaster recovery fields. ACP members have the opportunity grow professionally by developing and strengthening relationships with ACP's public and private sector partners.
ORGANIZATION
The Association began as an informal organization in 1983. The original group was formally organized in 1984 as a non-profit organization. In 1985, Articles of Incorporation were submitted to the State of California that set guidelines for chartering chapters and the operational principles of the ACP Board of Directors. The ACP Board of Directors consists of officers who direct the business of the Association while Chapters are directed by officers who tailor activities to the needs of their membership.
The Chapter is focused on building a strong working relationship between the public and private sectors. The
Chapter is comprised of an active and experienced group of business continuity professionals and includes members from a cross-section of public and private organizations, providing a great environment in which to exchange ideas.
We are a group of dedicated professionals involved in business continuity and disaster recovery planning. The ACP-NY Capital Region Chapter provides a forum in which
to share best practices, develop professional relationships and encourages continued professional growth and experience.
Meetings are held 4 - 6 times a year, typically on the second Thursday of the month; locations vary. Each meeting features guest speaker(s) on hot topics via presentation and roundtable discussions. The Chapter welcomes ideas for future presentation topics and appreciates presenter referrals.
ACP membership is open to anyone with an interest in or responsibility for the varied aspects of contingency planning.
