BCI Chapters

Our Chapters are led by members, for members, and play a central role in connecting professionals at a local and specialist level. They offer a practical way to build relationships with peers in your region or area of expertise, while staying close to the issues shaping business continuity and resilience today.

By getting involved, you can contribute to real conversations about shared challenges, exchange ideas grounded in lived experience, and learn from others facing similar risks and responsibilities. These groups create space for honest discussion, fresh thinking, and professional support beyond formal events or training.

Participation also helps you grow your professional network, raise your profile within the BCI community, and stay informed on emerging trends, good practice, and evolving expectations across the profession.

The role of BCI Chapters

BCI Chapters provide a local platform for members and industry professionals to connect, learn, and contribute.
They support regional growth and raise the profile of the BCI, while creating a welcoming and inclusive environment that helps new members get involved quickly and build meaningful connections with peers in their area.
Chapters enable professional development through peer learning, shared best practice, mentoring, and open discussion. They offer a trusted forum where members can exchange knowledge, explore challenges, and collaborate on practical solutions.
They also foster a strong sense of community and belonging, keeping members connected to the BCI’s mission, values, training, education, and thought leadership. Through regional engagement, Chapters stay close to developments shaping the profession and contribute to its continued evolution.
At a local level, Chapters build and maintain relationships with government bodies, educational institutions, professional associations, and business networks, strengthening the profession’s influence and reach.

Why get involved?

Volunteering with a BCI Chapter is a practical way to deepen your involvement in the profession while developing your own skills and profile.
You can build and demonstrate leadership capability, strengthen your professional credibility, and use your contribution to support continuing professional development.
For MBCI and Fellows, Chapter volunteering can also be used as evidence of a significant voluntary contribution when applying for or maintaining FBCI status.
Getting involved expands your professional network and increases your visibility within the BCI, connecting you with peers locally and globally. It gives you a platform to influence discussions, share expertise, and help shape the future of business continuity and resilience.
Volunteers also have access to opportunities such as collaborating with other regions and special interest group leaders and committee members, offering further connection, learning, and collaboration with leaders across the BCI community.
Most importantly, volunteering allows you to give something back to the professional body while making a positive, tangible impact on the profession.
