The Election Poll for our CPAC Board Members is now available on the CPAC Website and a link is below. The poll will be open until Tuesday evening, February 21st.

As a reminder, all Board volunteers as well as Charlotte Board volunteers receive free individual membership.

Over the past two years, it has become increasingly apparent that our profession and the value of business continuity are changing and technology advancement and new norms are driving the pace since the Pandemic. The value of your time versus readily accessible information is forcing volunteer managed organizations, like CPAC, to evaluate the programs, methods to deliver, and the value they provide to members and partners. CPAC has proven to be a leading partner to the profession of business continuity and beyond over the last 34 years. As a board, we recognize it is a great privilege and responsibility to be stewards of the Contingency Planning Association of the Carolinas. At this time we ask that you consider Board Election time as well as considering running for an office on the Board. If we do not receive Board nominations by the deadline we unfortunately have to dissolve CPAC organization as we only have 3 returning board members.

In the event you are interested in nominating yourself or another member/contact, please reply to this email with the following information:
