2022 Cyber Security Seminars – Recap
This year, CIRSA held four Cyber Security Seminars presented by Jim Kilmer, Partner & Division Director of the OPAL Group. These seminars were designed to show CIRSA members how to implement, train, and manage cybersecurity processes without breaking the bank.
If you were unable to attend any of the seminars or would like to share the presentation with other members of your organization, video presentations are provided below:
Demystifying Cyber Security for Non-Technical Personnel
CIRSA will provide additional cybersecurity seminars next year, so keep an eye out for our 2023 Training & Seminar schedule!
Jim Kilmer brings 27 years of experience in Software Engineering and IT Security to improve business processes and data security awareness in small-to-medium enterprises. His focus is on educating non-technical managers and staff on the need for creating a data security culture within their organization and running a “Geek to English” translation service for stakeholders struggling to understand the complexities of modern information security. He leads a team of software developers and IT specialists serving a client base spanning three continents for various industries, including manufacturing, insurance, risk management, and financial services.
2022 General Membership Meeting
After two years of virtual General Membership Meetings, we’re excited to announce that this year, we’ll be meeting in person in Breckenridge on June 22 at 10:30 a.m.! We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to connect with your fellow members over lunch, stay up to date on important risk management issues, and exercise your vote as a member-owner of our organization.
Board of Director Elections will be taking place this year with three population categories up for election. We encourage each member to send your Voting Representative to vote on behalf of your entity.
A not-to-be-missed part of this meeting will be the keynote speech by Karl Mecklenburg, one of the greatest Denver Broncos players of all time! We are also excited to provide presentations by Sam Light, CIRSA General Counsel, who will review the law relating to efforts to control incivility in various settings; and Jim Kilmer, The OPAL Group Partner and Division Director, who will demystify the complexities associated with cyber security.
There is limited space so please be sure to RSVP by June 14. More details on the event can be found in the invitation.
We look forward to seeing you at GMM!
