Some of these incidents are at the Provincial level, during which Lauren sits on the Ontario Critical Infrastructure Assurance Program – a group of telecommunication companies that work together during wide-scale provincial emergencies.
Lauren is looking forward to sharing her experiences in managing incidents at Bell, what emergency management may look like in the private sector, life on-call, and the importance of showcasing your enthusiasm.
