Welcome to 2025!
The San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the Association of Continuity Professionals welcomes you!
A message from our chapter president:
Dear Members and Potential Members,
The San Francisco Bay Area chapter has been gathering professionals across the SF Bay Area to network, share information, provide support, and to help each other grow professionally, personally and within our own resiliency programs.
Membership renewal insures you remain on the chapter distribution list and that you are invited to the 2025 programs. Please complete your 2025 membership renewal before 1/31/2025.
The SFBA Chapter provided a several great programs in 2024 and we plan the same in 2025. Active members are encouraged to participate by attending educational programs, engaging in resiliency inspired conversations, by coming to network in person when we host in-person events, and are asked to help the chapter by participating in an active chapter committee.
In addition to supporting our local chapter, ACP chapter committee volunteering provides our members with leadership opportunity, exposure to other resiliency professionals locally and nationally, ensures sustainability to our local chapter, as provides much needed support to our current chapter leaders, as more hands make for less work to a few. Please consider participating in a committee in 2025.
Thank you for your continued membership to our local chapter. I look forward to seeing you online or in-person this year.
Best wishes to you in 2025,
Lissette Carrillo
