President’s Update
The ISACA Omaha Chapter Board has been working
hard this summer developing a vision and plan for this
calendar year. The board is the largest (11 members)
since I have been involved and a good mixture of
auditors and information security managers. There is a
lot of energy and thought provoking ideas that we
would like to share with you at the first meeting.
As always, we need your input. That is why our first
meeting will be a ‘members only’ (free of charge)
meeting and social on 9/20/12 from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. at
the Scott Center in Omaha. We will have a short
meeting (no CPE) starting at 3:00 and then a social to
follow (Appetizers/Drinks). Please register at our
website www.isaca.org/Omaha or send an email to Jen
Hunt at jhunt71@cox.net. Come share your ideas on
what you would like ISACA to do for you!
