Welcome to DRIE - SWO

Are you a Business Continuity Planner / Emergency Manager / Records Officer / IT Specialist or someone who works in a related field? Do you live, work or travel within South Western Ontario? Then, join DRIE SWO and enjoy the many opportunities for "face to face" networking this provides.

DRIE is a member-based non-profit association of practitioners and others involved or interested in business continuity, disaster recovery, contingency planning, and related fields.

It exists to promote professionalism and to facilitate member-to-member exchange of ideas and information. We hold full day Symposia twice a year (May and October), with presentations on topics of interest to business continuity planners.

Our chapter is led by a volunteer executive, with voting membership, and member services. Business Continuity Planners and others in related fields who live, work or travel within South Western Ontario are encouraged to join DRIE SWO and enjoy the many opportunities for "face to face" networking this provides.
