BCI Awards Judges are responsible for upholding the highest standards and integrity of the BCI Awards, and ensuring that the selection process is fair and unbiased. The role of the judges is crucial to the success of the awards program and helps to recognize and promote excellence in the field of business continuity and resilience.
