2022 Message From the 2023 Board President, Joanne Storbeck

Hello Central Arizona Association of Continuity Professionals!

Please refer to our Events Page on our website for registration: www.chapters.acp-international.com/centralarizona. Zoom meetings are slated to start at 8:30 to network until 11:00 AM. 

Our membership stands at 35 members across the Phoenix metropolitan area. We are still looking to increase our membership by 25% by December 31, 2022.  Please reach out to your peers and promote membership to ACP as a great networking tool along with continuing education units.  Our national membership has increased by approximately 133 since the beginning of the year, a great rebound!

The Board of Director of the Association of Continuity Professionals (ACP) selected FirstPoint Management Resources (FPMR) as the new association management provider.  The transition concluded May 31, 2022.  ACP Board Chairman Michael Gifford is upbeat about the change.  This year we are focused on "The Road to Recovery, Viability, and Relevance."  As part of the change, surveys were sent out to our active and former members and the outcomes will be used in an upcoming Strategic Planning Workshop, hosted by (FPMR).    
  

Survey results indicated that “Hybrid” meetings made it to the top of the list.  The board will look to incorporate the hybrid choice into our meeting setup.  Future topics included the changes Covid has made on our BC and DR strategies followed by Cyber among others.

Regards,

Joanne Storbeck, President, Central AZ ACP
