CISM Certification Class for the December 2010 Exam
The CISM® certification program is developed specifically for experienced information security managers and those who have information security management responsibilities.
The management-focused CISM is a unique certification for individuals who design, build and manage enterprise information security programs. The CISM certification promotes international practices and individuals earning the CISM become part of an elite peer network, attaining a one-of-a-kind credential.
Although certification may not be mandatory for you at this time, a growing number of organizations are recommending that employees become certified. To help ensure success in the global marketplace, it is vital to select a certification program based on universally accepted technical practices. -- ISACA® International

Chapter members will have their fees refunded if they attend a minimum of 2/3 of the classes, or if they pass the exam (students will need to first pay the fees, and will be reimbursed if they qualify). To take advantage of this offer, you will need to provide your membership number on the first day of class.
