After three years of dreaming and development, we launched the Risk and Resilience Hub! The HUB is a digital platform leveraged to bring together the silos of BC, EM, DR, GRC and ERM to build resilient organizations and communities in the private and public sectors. It is not simply a web site but rather a global hub for professionals to connect and collaborate. If you have not already, I invite you to visit, join (no cost) and get involved. We have a big vision -- but cannot do it alone. The HUB is evolving and the best is yet to come. If you have valuable content to post, please contact me. Do you have a product or service to introduce to our audience? Get in touch and let us help! And, by the way, this will be the last regular Continuity eGUIDE until Wednesday, January 15.
