Our President, Dave, received the following and wanted to share it with us all.
Dear David,
As President of ISSA in Des Moines Chapter, we understand the importance of providing avenues and resources to your Members for enhancing their skills and professional development.
We can help you achieve this by offering your members Security Scholarships; all we request you to do is to pass this information to your members and others, so that they will benefit from such an initiative.
I represent EC-Council, a vendor neutral, IT Security certification body with over 22,000 certified members and over 60,000 student members in 60 countries. (http://www.eccouncil.org)
We have recently launched EC-Council| Secure Aid™, a US $100,000 scholarship program to empower and aid those that have been affected by the global economic crisis, regardless of a security professional’s certification affiliation and aims to support national and global security measures on combating cyber crime and cyber terrorism.
Our organizations are similar as we promote resource sharing, networking and advocacy to the benefit of the security community. Therefore, we are hopeful of your support to encourage your members to apply.
Click HERE to find out about Secure Aid and how you can pass on this benefit to your members.
