President, Kelley Archer asked for any questions or comments. A question was asked as to what went into the decision to co-sponsor Kevin Mitnick at the Strictly Business Expo. Kelley explained that the Board is not endorsing Kevin Mitnick’s actions or his requested membership into ISSA. The Board co-sponsored the presentation because it believes that Kevin will present information on an interesting topic that is valuable to the chapter members.
