COOP Consulting Adds Commonwealth of Virginia as Major Client

RESTON, VA (PRWEB) August 18, 2003 -- COOP Consulting (www.coop-consulting.com) today announced the Commonwealth of Virginia as a major client for their Continuity of Operations Planning improvement program. The next scheduled effort is a statewide, one-day workshop for senior agency executives.

This new phase of work follows a statewide assessment of the Commonwealths COOP plans done earlier in the year, where all agency COOP plans were reviewed against industry standards. Over time, the program will include statewide workshops for all COOP practitioners, plus training in software tools to standardize and streamline the planning process.

"Were very happy with our Commonwealth of Virginia relationship. As states roll out their continuity plans in the coming years, Virginias leadership in this field promises to be an example for all," said Chris Alvord, CEO of COOP Consulting. Virginia has been working hard on their COOP planning. We believe their program has a chance to be best in class."
