Thanks, I'm already a member of the Louisville area ISSA. A lost of it's members are in Infragard which is how I found out about the organization. Adrian 2009/2/19 <mattnels at gmail.com>
Infragard is good for networking and depending on the chapter they can provide decent technology contacts. However, Infragard (since 9/11) has grown beyond the IT world to critical infrastructure which includes agriculture, transportation, etc.... So you may end up learning/talking about stuff, though infromative, you have no interest in. I have found InfraGard to be wonderful for the networking and getting involved in state/local emergency management preparedness across a lot of industries. To get the most out of InfraGard you have to put some time into it though, being a spectator limits the experience I believe. If you are looking strictly for a strictly IT Security related organization, look for an ISSA chapter in your area. ISSA is much more geek friendly.... ------------------------------ *From:* pauldotcom-bounces at mail.pauldotcom.com [mailto: pauldotcom-bounces at mail.pauldotcom.com] *On Behalf Of *Adrian Crenshaw *Sent:* Thursday, February 19, 2009 10:46 AM *To:* PaulDotCom Security Weekly Mailing List *Subject:* [Pauldotcom] Infragard Does anyone here have any dealing with Infragard? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infragard I was thinking of joining a local chapter, and the only sources of bad information on them I could find were from wingnuts.
