President's Letter for May 2017

Hello everyone,

It’s an exciting time for SC Midlands Chapter. Just this previous weekend, we were awarded the K. Wayne Snipes award (regionally and worldwide) for large chapters and also a chapter growth award! Photos of the award ceremony are coming!

We have experienced a large amount of growth and have some great educational events coming up. Be sure to check your e-mail for notifications from Cvent and/or go to www.scisaca.org for more information! If anyone has any ideas on topics that they would like to be presented, or would like to present themselves, please let us know. We would love to hear from you. Currently, we still have an available spot for Social Media Director and Secretary. Come be a part of our organization and be an integral part of our organizations success.  

TechnoSecurity is right around the corner, and coming up quick. Register to attend and make sure you book your room early (as they tend to sell out quick). I’ll be presenting, as will some familiar names and faces, such as our very own Leighton Johnson, and also Ken Cutler. More information can be found at www.technosecurity.us.

Thanks and look forward to seeing you at our next event,

Marc Punzirudu, SC Midlands ISACA Chapter President
