Women in Resilience

The Women in Resilience (WiR) group has been formed in response to requests from the BCI membership. The group’s aim is to connect and empower women in disciplines including, but not limited to, business continuity, crisis management, emergency management, security, disaster recovery, risk and organizational resilience. We seek to attract more women into the industry, and support, and champion those working in the field to become leaders and advance in their careers.

At present 30% of BCI members are female, as is 25% of the active volunteer pool leading our chapters, forums and groups. There is currently one woman (11%) on the BCI board. Whilst the group’s focus is on encouraging women to join the industry and thrive and succeed within it, we welcome all with an interest in resilience to join us and leverage the information and opportunities we make available.
