Business Continuity Webinar
Floods, cyber-attacks, pandemics, and unexpected staff absences are just a few of the risks that can prevent firms from remaining open and profitable during disaster and disruption. And yet only 22% of firms with 1-19 employees have a Business Continuity Plan.
Tuesday, March 31
11:30 a.m.
This exclusive live course will explore the business impacts of common and timely hazard events and review the essentials of business continuity planning. It will also introduce AIA's newest free member resource, the Architect's Guide to Business Continuity, which, when implemented, will leave firms with the confidence to weather any storm.
You'll hear from leading firms how ransomware, hurricanes, the sudden loss of a firm leader- and yes, even COVID19- can impact your employees, clients, projects, and ultimately, your ability to conduct business.
Register for his special live course to get critical insight from seasoned architects on how business continuity planning can not only keep the doors open and projects moving but also position firms for new market opportunities and enhance client services.
This webinar is limited to 1,000 attendees. Register now to confirm your seat. If you are not able to get into the live webinar, AIA National will email you a link to the recording once it's available.

COVID-19 Best Practices & Tips for Architecture Firms
The folks at the Practice of Architecture have created a living document to track Architecture Firm best practices, resources and templates for communications and policies in response to COVID-19.
You can access these by
clicking here. It's a living document, so it is being updated as new information comes through. They're also looking for any additional resources or policies, particularly from small firms. If you have anything to share, please send them to
evelyn@practiceofarchitecture.com. They are, of course, scrubbing all identifying information from these examples.
