Call for BCI Awards judges
We are searching for judges to join our award-judging panel, which was newly formed in 2023. At the heart of the BCI Awards is the commitment to recognizing excellence in business continuity and resilience. To maintain the high standard of our awards program, it is essential that we have a diverse and expert panel of judges who can fairly and accurately evaluate the achievements of outstanding professionals and organizations from around the world.
