Leadership Transition Marks New Era for Renowned Business Continuity Organization
The Mid-Florida Chapter of the Association of Contingency Planners (ACP) is pleased to announce the appointment of Adam Montella as its new Chapter President. Adam, who also serves as Chief Operations Officer at SummitET, steps into the role following the tenure of Eric Olson, who led the chapter for over two decades, guiding its growth and strengthening its reputation within the business continuity and disaster recovery community.
Founded in January 1993 and officially recognized by the Association of Contingency Planners in February of the same year, the ACP Mid-Florida Chapter has served as a cornerstone for professionals seeking to enhance their organization’s resiliency and contingency strategies. The chapter proudly serves members across a broad region, reaching as far west as Tampa and as far south as Miami, reflecting its commitment to supporting professionals throughout Central and South Florida.
The chapter regularly hosts monthly meetings, fostering a collaborative environment where industry experts and newcomers alike can exchange ideas and best practices. The first meeting is complimentary for guests, with ongoing membership required for continued participation in events and networking opportunities.
“I am honored to follow in the footsteps of Eric Olson, whose leadership has been instrumental in building this supportive community,” said Adam Montella. “I look forward to working with our members to continue advancing the field of business continuity and disaster recovery throughout the Mid-Florida region.”
