More than 50% of
organizations that experience a catastrophic event such as a fire, never recover and end up closing, according to the
Gartner Group. Business Continuity requires planning around communications
with customers, vendors, and staff. You must know how core business functions
will be resumed. What supplies need to be stored offsite? Where will you set
up operations? What staff should report to the site, and who stays home?
On January
24, the Nonprofit Roundtable and NPower Greater DC Region will be holding a
Disaster Recovery Workshop from 9:00- 10:30am at Bank of America (breakfast
served at 8:30) for Roundtable members and their staff. This event will
review how nonprofits can be prepared when a disaster occurs. It will feature
Linda Mathes (American Red Cross of the National
Capital Region), Ben Hendricks (Girl Scout Council of Nation's Capital), and
Mark Bolgiano (Council on Foundations). To RSVP, contact Mary mknighton@nonprofitroundtable.org
by email or (202) 263-4771 via phone.
