Michele Turner, vice president, business continuity, global finance, risk management, Marriott International, was recently appointed chairperson of the Disaster Recovery Institute (DRI) International Board of Directors.

She said she looks forward to serving in this leadership capacity and continuing to support the resilience industry.

“Being in this arena for over 30 years (and with DRI for the same time), I have had the opportunity to implement programs and lead change as a subject matter expert, as well as offer sponsorship and strategic development at the senior and executive levels,” Turner said in a DRI release. “It is the culmination of these aspects, along with my skillset in relationship management, C-level, and corporate board communications, that I will bring as the chair of the DRI board of directors. I look forward to working with my board colleagues to continue to drive thought leadership supporting the needs of the industry and our constituents around the globe.”
