The NCMS Carolinas Chapter is proud to present the next segment of the Brown Bag Training Series. Registration for the 9 May Brown Bag registration is now open.

Join us on 9 May as we meet the last three board members as they introduce themselves and their committees to us. You will be able to start logging on at 12:00 (eastern standard time) and training starts at 12:10 (eastern standard time). Please be courteous and be on time.
Leonard Moss heads up the Information Systems Security Committee and has a lot to update us on as his committee has been extremely busy. Learn what they've been up to and how you can help.

Not only does it give you greater insight into NCMS but it puts you on the forefront of security information and policy making. It takes less time than you’d think!
Below is the listing of the committees you can join and the chairperson of the committee.
If you’re interested in their committee simply drop them an email asking to “join their committee” and cc me on it. Wouldn’t it be great to have at least one Carolinas member on each National Committee? We’d get all the good information first!
