Welcome to 2025!
The Northern California Chapter of the Association of Continuity Professionals welcomes you!
A message from our chapter president:
Dear Members and Potential Members,
Spring has sprung! The birds are chirping and the days are getting warmer. Before the year gets away from you, take the time for yourself and join us at our in-person health walk this spring at Salesforce Park. Bring a friend to these walks to enjoy a little networking before and after the walk and stick around for happy hour.
We are launching an exercise theme this summer and encourage you to engage and share your good practices or to come and gain perspective from others. The speaker topics and exercise discussion sessions are being planned for members only.
Thank you for your continued membership to our local chapter.
The chapter board looks forward to seeing you online or in-person this year!
Connect with us via Slack or LinkedIn!
Best wishes,
Lissette Carrillo
Chapter President
