  LOCAL CHAPTER

The mission of the Central Arizona Chapter (AZACP) is to provide a network through which professionals can exchange information, share ideas, and find assistance on preventing disasters, planning to sustain business operations after a disaster and facilitating the resumption of normal business activities following a major disaster.

Our Chapter meets from 9:00 am to 11:00 am the first Thursday of each month, taking into consideration holidays and key local events. Please view the Chapter Meetings section for our current schedule.

As a networking tool, membership in this local chapter offers unequaled opportunities to meet with and work hand-in-hand with local business and government contingency planners as well as attend professional presentations by experts on subjects selected by local members. AZACP also maintains a monthly newsletter that is emailed and available from the website.
