Re: InfraGard

["Manson, Daniel" <DMANSON () CSUPOMONA EDU>]

I have been a member of the Los Angeles chapter of Infragard for the past
year, and have attended several Infragard meetings.

We have a Higher Education sector, with members from USC, UCLA, Cal Poly
Pomona and other schools.  Other sectors include Banking and Finance,
Energy, Multimedia, Telecommunications, Transportation and Water.

Our last meeting was January 13th.  Topics included "The Convergence of
Physical and Information Technology" by Ron Moritz, Vice President of
Comptuer Associates, a presentation by Detective Chris Hicks, who workins on
the FBI "SAFE" team task force investigating Child Pornography, and a
presentation on Incident Response and Sarbanes-Oxley by Guidance Software.

I find Infragard to have good potential for education, networking and
information sharing.   However, there needs to be more active leadership in
our chapter to realize this potential.   We are currently holding elections,
I expect the new board to take a more active role.

The LA Chapter website is http://www.infragardla.com/
<http://www.infragardla.com/> .  As you can see, it is out of date.

I can't seem to get the Boston chapter to respond to me - have sent
several e-mail messages and nothing back.

Coincidentally I attended my first Infragard Virginia meeting yesterday,
so I certainly am not in the position to comment on its value to the
Virginia EDU community.

However, I do know that the Virginia chapter has been in existence for
about three years, and has approx. 150 members. It alternates its
meetings between Richmond and the Norfolk area.

As far as I know they don't have a presence in Northern Virginia, but
that area might be served by the Maryland chapter.

I found the meeting agenda interesting, and hope to get more active in
the group.

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
(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,
