Upcoming Events Disruption Recovery Plan Workshops
Presented by Butte College SBDC
April 27, 2017
9:00 am - 12:00 pm
202 Mira Loma - Tahoe Room Oroville, CA

Disruption Recovery Plan for Your Business - These are the times! With upswings in cyber-attacks, and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricane, business continuity plan has suddenly moved to the front of the line as more businesses are being forced to complete their disaster recovery plans. If concerns for your business survival, blemished reputation, government regulations and limited access to capital do not convince you that it’s time to do a recovery plan, than how are you comfortable with the continued success of your business? This training will help you complete a workable plan that you & your employees can easily follow and visit regularly to ensure usefulness; relax from stress of unplanned activities that cause your profit to drop; and teach you how to complete a plan to address your business operation for disruption, and prepare you for funding when available.

If you would like your event to be included in this e-bulletin, please contact Wilma Compton at 530-538-2542 or Submit Online.
