Hall of Fame

Honoring Contingency Planning and Management Excellence

The CPM Hall of Fame was instituted in 1998 to recognize and acknowledge the significant contributions of select individuals and businesses dedicated to the pursuit of business continuity. Held in high esteem by the global contingency planning community, Hall of Fame inductees are a tribute to the profession.

The Contingency Planning & Management Hall of Fame is an honorable aspiration for all contingency planners and business continuity vendors.
