The Lower Hudson Valley Chapter of the Contingency Planning Exchange (CPE-LHV) was chartered in January 2011. The CPE-LHV operates in conformance with the CPE'S mission as a non-profit educational organization with a mission to foster the exchange of business continuity, emergency preparedness and disaster recovery planning information, techniques, and best practices through awareness and education throughout the Lower Hudson region The CPE-LHV supports business continuity and emergency preparedness planning initiatives by offering a forum for both public and private sector entities to participate and engage in the latest recovery response solutions including preventative practices, software and technology solutions, as well as communication systems. Emphasis is placed on Lower Hudson Valley based resources and training to provide a forum for professionals to freely exchange ideas, lessons learned and best practices. The CPE's goal is to facilitate collaborations between companies based in the region, service organizations as well as local government services. These collaborative relationships will elevate the state of emergency preparedness and business resiliency for our chapter members while also serving the best interest of the community at large. The CPE-LHV hosts several "2 hour" roundtable meetings (1:00 pm – 3:00 pm) annually. In addition, special meetings may be hosted to focus on specific topics of interest. In addition to the CPE's standard membership benefits, our chapter promotes both informational and educational roundtables and less formal networking sessions. The Board of the Contingency Planning Exchange (CPE-LHV) is a board of volunteers who devote their time and energy to building the success of the organization and maintaining its mission.
