July ACP Chapter Meeting – We are not alone!
One significant incentive for belonging to ACP is the chance to interact with and learn from bona fide experts in our field. Howard Pierpont qualifies for that distinction! At the July meeting of the Colorado Rocky Mountain Chapter, Howard – a long-time member and a national expert and consultant – challenged us with this question: Does our group have the very best information about resources for the DR/BC industry? He then proceeded to answer that question with his presentation on many other sources available to businesses, organizations, communities, and even families. Here are just a few:
