President's Letter for September 2017

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone has weathered the recent storms.  We currently have a few exciting training events on the horizon so be sure to check our website, www.scisaca.org. Please let us know if you have any suggestions on how we can be a better chapter, so do not hesitate to let us know.

We are also looking for volunteers to assist the Board of Directors with various tasks. If you are interested in helping the ISACA Best Worldwide Chapter of 2016 be even better, please e-mail me directly at
president@scisaca.org.

 

Thanks,

Marc Punzirudu, SC Midlands ISACA Chapter President

Cvent Email Invites:
On January 1, 2017, Cvent no longer supports Microsoft’s Internet Explorer versions 9 (IE9) and 10 (IE10) browsers for both users and those accessing our events, surveys, email campaigns. For the best experience possible, we recommend upgrading to a supported browser such as:

Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Microsoft Internet Explorer

If you currently use IE9 or IE10, you should upgrade to version 11 or switch to a different browser as soon as possible. You will still be able to access Cvent with IE9 and IE10 but Cvent is no longer designing or developing new features optimized for it.
