The NJ chapter is very active.  No one from RU is on the board, but I
and my staff attend most of the meetings and last year we hosted one of
the monthly meetings.  The topic was wireless security and our WINLab
(Wireless research facility) made one of the presentations.  (BTW this
research unit just received a $5 Mil grant for a large-scale wireless
research project).  Although most of the presentations are slanted
toward corporations, vendors and law enforcement it is a good networking
opportunity.
