Business Continuity Awareness Week is approaching rapidly. The dates for 2012 are March 19 -23. The theme for this year is: "The Time to Act is Now. " with the sub text: "A disaster is not the time to think about what to do next."

One of the key activities taking place during that week, as in the past, will be a series of webinars focused on business continuity and emergency management. One of DRIE Toronto's coordination roles is to organize the calendar of BCAW events and we are welcoming offers from association members, partners and sponsors to run a webinar within that week.

If you would like to contribute to the collective BCAW effort by running a webinar, please let us know as soon as possible by contacting either or both of the following:

communications@toronto.drie.org

program@toronto.drie.org

The following information will be required:

• Webinar Title and description
• Presenter names with short bios and e-mail addresses
• Date and Time (and time zone) for the webinar
• Details of the webinar hosting facility being used and the information for users to register (if necessary we can provide the facility and assist with logistics)
