Association of Continuity Professionals - FL: Mid Florida (Orlando)

Upcoming Chapter Meeting

November Virtual Chapter Meeting

ACP Members, please join us for our November meeting. This meeting is all about networking and exchanging ideas about your programs, with the theme "Continuity and Resilience Exchange.”

About the Meeting:

This meeting is all about you and your programs. Have a project you want to share? Want to highlight an innovative practice? Want to float an idea with the assembled SMEs? Have an issue you are trying to tackle and want advice? Bring it.

Each member will have five minutes to introduce themselves, their organization, their role in the organization, and their topic, followed by 5 minutes of discussion/Q&A. We’ll get through as many as we can in the time we have available. If we run out of time, we can schedule another exchange at a later date.

At the meeting we’ll also discuss the holiday party in December and discuss other chapter business.

The meeting will be led by our new Chapter President, Adam Montella. As a reminder, elections are open for other board positions, if anyone like to nominate someone or themselves. We have incumbents who have agreed to continue serving if no nominations are received. Please refer to Staci Urbanovitch’s email from November 4 for instructions. We will extend the nominations until close of business on Monday, November 17. We are also in desperate need for someone to fill Adam's previous role as Information Director and Webmaster. It does not take a lot of time, but it plays a crucial role in helping keep the members informed through updates to the website. If you are interested in the position, please contact Adam directly.

When: Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.

ACP – Mid-Florida 2024 MVP Award Recipient

The Mid-Florida Chapter recognizes Eric Olson as its 2024 MVP. Eric has led our chapter as President for more than 20 years and inspired us all to be better continuity professionals. He is the consummate leader – quick to listen and provide help or guidance. His support to ACP National has been demonstrated by coordinating the ACP booth at numerous DRJ conferences and excelled in voicing chapter concerns to the National Board. It is with pleasure that we honor him in this way.
