Course Description

September is National Preparedness Month and the Association for Accounting Administration knows how important it is to effectively communicate during and after a disaster. In an emergency, it is imperative that those within your organization know how to communicate effectively. This includes both internal and external communications, and applies to emergencies of all types and sizes - large and small. This MAPCast will not only provide implementable steps for your firm, it also applies to your clients, prospects, and vendors as well.

This one-hour session will provide the information you need to know about Crisis Communications for your firm.

Presenter and Moderator Bios
Trevor Mickelson is the CPA Solution Specialist for Agility Recovery. Trevor has spent his career in the arena of risk mitigation and financial education for small and local businesses. He has a passion for helping businesses thrive - looking for simple and implementable steps towards success. He is a frequent speaker for companies, Emergency Managers, CPA Firms, Payroll organizations, HR functions, and other local and regional events.

Too often, businesses hit with crises close for good because they are unable to respond quickly and effectively. The fact is, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, 55% of businesses will go out of business after an interruption if they don’t have a plan. Trevor’s mission is to help every firm, and their clients, realize daily opportunities to prepare for disasters, protect their livelihood, so they can continue to do what they love.
