This Week's Stories:
1. Insurance & Risk Management: Business Continuity Circle of Excellence Award
To recognize the achievements of departments that have created well-written business continuity plans, a biannual Circle of Excellence Award will be awarded. A department can submit their plans for consideration or may be nominated by another department. Departments winning the Circle of Excellence Award will be recognized at a future quarterly business continuity meeting and have their achievement recognized in future campus communications. Multiple departments can be recognized for team continuity projects.
Thank you to all that attended our Summer Business Continuity Town Hall in real time. Here are the slides and recording for those unable to attend.
As a reminder, applications for the Business Continuity Plan Circle of Excellence Award are now open to all those with current continuity plans.
