The meeting is hosted by Visa International at 900 Metro Center Blvd., Foster City in the Metro 1 Auditorium.

Emergency preparedness and business recovery are important topics that every financial institutions needs to address. Since 2002, the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) has required that licensees' boards of directors review and approve their institutions' business resumption and contingency plans and provide DFI with copies of board resolutions to that effect. We encourage licensees in the San Francisco Bay Area to attend what promises to be a useful and informative event. Please refer to the attached invitation (PDF) from BARC FIRST for details.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The meeting will be held in a secure location. Attendees must RSVP as directed on the attached invitation in order to attend.
