Re: DISASTER PLAN

Seems like sound management practices to me. 



I did something similar when I was tabulating ballots by sending the?Excel spreadsheet to Griggs on a regular basis. Perhaps sending it to another part of the country would be a more?long range plan. As Board members, couldn't we each hold someone elses data in a secure place?

Redundancy Memo: Disaster Plan



B 

An organization the size of AIS should have a disaster plan. Redundancy in
some positions is one way of coping. Another is back-ups of critical data.
What if The Lowes were struck by a meteorite. do we have a back-up of the
checklists off site. What if California had their great earthquake is there a
copy at another site of our financial records. What if the memberships
chairbs house burned down do we have offsite a copy of membership records.
What if the exhibitions chair went into a coma from a car wreck, etc etc. B 
It seems to me we are vulnerable as an organization if we donbt have
suitable back-up and redundancy policies that are outlined and maintained. T
HIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD WORK OUT BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING.
