President's Corner

ISSA-COS Members,,

What an excellent start to 2019! In January, we held our inaugural President’s Address and Chapter Business Meeting (slides are available for members on our website). We also launched a new format to our Saturday Mini-seminars that now includes both a technical presentation and a Do-It-Yourself, hands-on session. From these events, we received a strong response to our requests for new volunteers. For those who answered the call, we greatly appreciate your support and look forward to having you join all our fun behind the scenes. Collectively, 189 members registered for our January events and a total of 163 folks attended – thanks to everyone who joined us! If you didn’t make it to one of these events in January, you really missed out. No worries though, February is stacking up to be an event better month. Our February sponsor is Trend Micro (www.trendmicro.com) who will also provide the guest speaker for both our monthly chapter meetings. Our guest speakers for the February Mini-seminar are Mr. Vincent Persichetti, Director of Cybersecurity for the Colorado Springs Chamber and Economic Development Council (EDC) and Jeff Tomkiewicz, Deputy Director of Training for our ISSA-COS chapter. Sign-ups via EventBrite for all these events have been released so don’t delay with registration. Remember, we are now encouraging early (free) registration and imposing a $10 fee for late registration and walk-in attendees. February will also include our participation at the AFCEA Cyberspace Symposium (Feb 4-7) where we will once again host a booth to promote our chapter and distribute promotional material for all our member services. Yah, so, that’s February!MORE
