Re: InfraGard

["Galloway, Dan" <Dan.Galloway () VITA VIRGINIA GOV>]

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 <http://www.infragard-va.net/events.asp>
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
<file:///\\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,
