International Election Open through August 5

The polls are now open to cast your ballot for the International Board President and five Directors. Ballots were sent to eligible voters on July 7 and must be received by August 5 at midnight US Pacific Time.

This election replaces the vote originally scheduled for June. If you voted between June 1-19, you will need to vote again. If you have not previously voted, we encourage you to do so.

Voters must have been members in good standing as of May 31, 2008. Student and temporary members of any kind (Trial and CISO Trial) are not voting members of the organization. Unassigned organizational memberships may not be voted.

If you have questions regarding voting, eligibility or membership accounts, please email or call 866- 349-5818 within the USA, 206 388-4584 internationally, and dial extension 103 to speak with Elections Support.

Share Your Opinions on Professional Ethics

The July 2008 ISSA Journal theme is Professional Ethics. In addition to the Ethics and Privacy column that is published periodically, the ISSA Ethics Committee is launching a survey, http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=fKbGAzKjlKLDoUVmidJ65w_3d_3d, to gather input and feedback from our members. Please share your thoughts and ideas regarding Professional Ethics in our industry, the effectiveness of the ISSA Ethics Committee, and any pertinent examples of situations and resolutions where ethics influenced the outcome. Survey results will be compiled during September, and aggregated results will be shared on the October ISSA Journal - no names will be used without express permission.

Although the ISSA Ethics Committee is always open to your invaluable input and feedback, take this opportunity to share your thoughts, and help to shape the focus and activities of this dedicated group of members to reflect our association’s stance on Professional Ethics as the Voice of Information Security!

The survey will remain open until August 15, 2008.
