  • Dear  ,

      

    I hope everyone had a great and safe summer.  As we begin our new program year, we have two great events in September and October, including a new location for our chapter meetings:
    • September Chapter Meeting - on September 26th, we have a new location (ASU Skysong Center at McDowell and Scottsdale Roads), lunch starts at noon and it's 3 CPE - cost is free to members.  The new location should be more convenient for north Scottsdale members, is less expensive, and also offers free wi-fi to attendees. 
    • 2013 Phoenix Security & Audit Conference - on October 22nd we'll have our second annual conference with the ISSA and IIA.  Same location, but bigger and better (7 tracks plus other opportunities).  Cost is only $40 for members, 7.5 CPE.

    Please be sure to check out these events.  We're especially excited about the topics for chapter meetings, they will match up with the CISA and CISM domains.


    Regards,
    President, ISACA Phoenix Chapter
