DESCRIPTION:\n	18:30 - participants arrival\n\n	19:00 - conference\n\n	19:
 30 - networking with members and preferred partners\n\n	Aurore Chatard is 
 a specialist in crisis management\, security\, and business continuity. A 
 former officer in the French Navy\, she has more than twenty years of expe
 rience in international environments\, including within the United Nations
 \, NGOs\, public organizations\, and large corporations. She has led compl
 ex crises\, security arrangements in numerous countries\, and has designed
  crisis simulation exercises to prepare people and organizations. She curr
 ently holds national and regional responsibilities for continuity and secu
 rity within SRG SSR.\n\n	In a crisis situation\, the quality of decisions 
 depends not only on the information available\, but also on the ability to
  convey it to the right person\, at the right time\, and in the right form
 .\n\n	Executive and Personal Assistants hold a unique position in this res
 pect. They know the leader's priorities\, key contacts\, the best way to r
 each them\, and how a request should be presented to secure a quick decisi
 on. When the CEO or leader is not directly embedded in the crisis manageme
 nt unit but acts as an escalation point\, their role becomes decisive.\n\n
 	Drawing on concrete experiences of managing complex crises\, this confere
 nce will highlight their pivotal function: gatekeepers of access to the le
 ader\, facilitators of decision-making\, connectors between the various st
 akeholders\, and essential partners to the crisis unit.\n\n	It will also o
 ffer practical approaches for better anticipating this role\, clarifying e
 scalation pathways\, and strengthening the contribution of Executive Assis
 tants to their organization's resilience.\n
