Re: InfraGard

[William Tener <Bill_Tener () UCCSN NEVADA EDU>]

InfraGard is active in Las Vegas conducting bimonthly meetings.  I have
just relocated here from California and find a significant absence of
security organizations such as ISSA or ISACA.  At this time it's the only
show in town. The meetings I've attended have not addressed IT security or
the educational environment which is certainly different than the
commercial environment.

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,
