I'm in the Cincinnati chapter and we just had a meeting this past Tuesday.
I know of at least two other chapters in Ohio, one in Dayton and one in
Cleveland.  We have good attendance at meetings and have bi-monthly
meetings.  I would just echo what Joe St. Sauver said, it's a broad group
that doesn't focus exclusively on IT.  I do find the meetings very valuable
in terms of networking contacts and just general information exchange.

I think a EDUCAUSE meeting would be a good idea.

I have been wondering if InfraGard (  <http://www.infragard.net/>
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/> 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 (
<file://www.educause.edu/conference/security/2004>
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,

Security Task Force Coordinator, EDUCAUSE
