Upon joining DRI in 2010, Leach helped launch DRI's annual conference, e-newsletters, and social media presence.

She also oversees the “last mile” of DRI’s course content – ensuring consistency and accuracy. Additionally, she serves as a liaison to the DRI Foundation Women in Business Continuity Management Executive Committee. What Leach enjoys most about her job is interacting with a vibrant and ever-expanding community of resilience professionals whose ideas and input she welcomes.
Prior to joining DRI, Leach spent six years with Continuity Insights, where she consistently produced interesting and informative articles on all aspects of business continuity and developed the content for the annual Continuity Insights Management Conference. She also launched and led Contingency Planning & Management's publication and conference and spent six years as Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Strohl Systems where she helped a relatively small company achieve tremendous growth and become the clear market leader in business continuity planning software.
