non-profit trade association dedicated to fostering continued professional
growth and development in effective Contingency & Business Resumption
Planning.
ACP is the recognized premier international networking and information
exchange organization in the business continuity industry. Founded in
1983 as a non-profit mutual benefit association, ACP's membership is open to
anyone with an interest in or responsibility for the varied aspects of
contingency planning.
Contingency planning is a required element for successful business and
government agencies. Emergency managers and business continuity
planners alike address mitigation, response and recovery planning issues.
The
purpose of ACP is to provide an environment for exchange of experiences and
information. This includes identification of common planning needs and
potential recovery response solutions as well as networking opportunities
through local and national alliances.
Active participation enables members to:
- Learn
about state-of-the-art contingency and business continuity techniques
- Serve as a
unifying force in defining and leading this rapidly evolving field
- Identify and implement
means and methods for public and private sector collaboration and
interface
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 to grow professionally by developing and strengthening
relationships with ACP's public and private sector partners.
Association of
Contingency Planners -
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.
