International Board of Directors Election Underway

The polls opened for the 2009 election for the International Board of Directors on Monday, June 22 and will remain open until July 19 at midnight US Pacific time (7:00 a.m. July 20 GMT). Your voter credentials were delivered via email from election@issa.org. If you did not receive credentials, please check your spam folder. If your credentials were not diverted to your spam folder, contact Elections Support or call 1 866 349 5818 within the US, +1 206 388 4584 extension 103, to speak with Dana Paulino.

As in past elections, your credentials were sent from the vendor's server to ensure the confidentiality of your unique username and password. The email appears to come from election@issa.org because it was felt a message from VoteNet would not be recognized and voter credentials would be deleted. So while the sender looks to be election@issa.org, it is actually from votenet@jangomail.com.

To ensure that you receive important announcements during the election, please be sure to whitelist issa.org if you have not already done so and the servers listed at http://www.jangomail.com/senders.asp.

General, CISO Executive, Corporate Organizational, Government Organizational and Lifetime members in good standing as of June 21, 2009 are eligible to vote. Students and temporary members of any kind are not voting members.

Before final submission of the ballot, voters have an opportunity to review their selections and print a receipt. The receipt will include a unique confirmation number, which should be kept confidential. Candidate biographies and the goals they wish to achieve as members of the ISSA Board of Directors can be accessed from the ballot and are also available on our website for your review CLICK HERE. In addition, candidates are featured in the June issue of the ISSA Journal CLICK HERE.

Call for Chapter Photos and Logos for 25th Anniversary

A photo history is being planned for ISSA's 25th Anniversary Celebration in Anaheim, California, USA on Sunday, September 20. The planning committee would like to showcase your chapter photos and logos.

We would love to have a group photo of your chapter members. Also of particular interest are pictures from your more casual, networking or just plain silly events such as golf tournaments, cruises, picnics - anything that will stimulate conversation and humor. Digital photos are preferred, but if you have older photos you would be willing to lend, we will scan and return the originals to you.

Share your memorable moments with us. What is the most significant experience or most meaningful achievement you have had as a member of ISSA and why was it important to you?

Send your photos, memorable moments and logos to Dana Paulino. ISSA's 25th Anniversary Celebration will precede the ASIS International 55th Annual Seminar and Exhibits where ISSA will be sponsoring an information security track. ISSA members may attend the ASIS conference at the ASIS member price. 

ISSA and ASIS Partner on Networking and Educational Opportunities

ASIS International 55th Annual Seminar & Exhibits: ASIS 2009

September 21-24, 2009
Anaheim, CA

ISSA has collaborated with ASIS International to provide members with an extended depth of security expertise. As part of this on-going partnership, ISSA is sponsoring a high-quality information security track at the ASIS International 55th Annual Seminars & Exhibits. We hope that you take advantage of this exceptional educational and networking opportunity, available to ISSA members at the ASIS member price (discount applied at checkout).

ASIS 2009 covers the full spectrum of security—all vertical industries, government and private sector, around the globe. As the world’s leading security event, ASIS pays dividends immediately—and the payoff continues throughout the year. You’ll be armed with—and energized by—the latest knowledge, technology, and strategies to deal with today’s challenges. www.asisonline.org/ASIS2009

Special ISSA Journal Issue on Standards - Call for Articles

Standards are an integral part of our world. They provide a common, comprehensive framework for defining the security, integrity, availability, governance, and compliance requirements demanded of organizations and their information systems. As such, it is important for security professionals to be aware of current standards, how they are formulated, and how to apply them.

An upcoming issue of the ISSA Journal will be devoted to all aspects of standards. To make that issue as meaningful as possible, we would like to hear from those of you in the trenches who must work with standards on a daily basis. We are interested in formal standards at the national and international level, private industry standards such as PCI, and how to apply and use guidelines such as the U.S. NIST 800 series.

Please submit your articles or questions to editor@issa.org. Our publishing guidelines may be found on the ISSA website in the Journal section.
