Educating and informing are two key tenets of BRMA’s mission statement. BRMA member, Julia Halsne, delivered a most informative presentation on November 21 about the journey East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) has taken since the late 1990s to implement its Business Continuity Management program. She discussed how the BCM program has evolved over the years, and where there is still work to do. The agency was a worthy recipient of the 2016 BRMA Award of Excellence! As with all webinars, her recent webinar is available to you (our members) in our members-only section at BRMA.com. To replay Julia’s presentation, click HERE.
We are delighted to welcome back Regina Phelps (another BRMA member) for her traditional January meeting spot. This time she’ll discuss ways to continue your business, even if you lost all your systems for days or weeks…or longer. A sobering topic indeed but one we should all be thinking about and addressing! Please mark your calendar for January 21 and sign up HERE.
Members value learning from other members. If you are able and willing to share information about your program, a technology you use in an innovative way, and/or lessons learned following an incident, please email program@brma.com. We’re always looking for great program content for our members.
Our upcoming annual 2020 strategic planning meeting is being scheduled for January, and will be geared to even further enhancing our programming and marketing initiatives to best meet our member needs and reach a widening audience.
As we have all just celebrated Thanksgiving, it is an important time for reflection. I am grateful to all our members and the contributions each of you bring to make BRMA the organization we are.
