CU*Answers, a 100% credit union owned CUSO, recently presented a complimentary web-based Education Express course for credit unions to identify the essential elements of an effective Business Continuity Plan.

“When the unexpected happens,” says Jim Lawrence, CBCP, Manager of Disaster Recovery and Business Resumption Services at CU*Answers, “the last thing you want as CEO is a stale recovery plan in the hands of untrained personnel. When developed properly, a Business Continuity Plan will provide the information and guidance necessary to enable the credit union to execute effectively under adverse circumstances.”

As part of their commitment to their network of over 200 credit union clients, CU*Answers provides professional education courses (classroom and web-based) and consulting services on topics relevant to the needs and current events of the industry. Among courses offered on the topic of cybersecurity, interest in business continuity and operational resilience continues to grow.
