The Michigan chapter of IG was active about a year ago, holding several
meetings with terrorism experts from the FBI.  Lately though, it's been
inactive.

The Secret Service is also starting something similar to IG up.  Mandated by
congress, I've been put on a steering committee which has met twice so far.
We're struggling a little on how not to be another IG.

Subject: [SECURITY] InfraGard


I have been wondering if InfraGard (http://www.infragard.net/) is continuing
to thrive in local areas since the creation of the new Department of
Homeland Security and the reorganization of key federal government
departments.  I know that my local chapter in Maryland
(http://www.mdinfragard.net/) continues to hold regular meetings and
provides interesting programs.
I am especially interested to learn if anyone on this list is active in
their local chapter or perhaps serves in a leadership role - such as
president or member of the board.  The program committee for the Security
Professionals Conference (www.educause.edu/conference/security/2004) is
planning to schedule a session on InfraGard so we are looking for a quick
status report regarding its usefulness for colleges and universities.
Thanks,
