A Message from Our President, Robert Kinzer
Dear COISSA Members,
I am truly honored to have been elected to serve as the Central Ohio ISSA President. It is a privilege to be given the opportunity to lead such a vibrant and dedicated community, and I’m eager to build on the outstanding work we have already accomplished together.
To ensure alignment with both our mission and the evolving needs of our members, the COISSA leadership team recently met to refine our strategic direction. As a result, we’ve identified several key initiatives that reflect our shared vision and dedication to delivering an exceptional experience for every member.
As we move forward, we are united in our commitment to advancing the following strategic initiatives:
Fostering deeper member engagement by creating more opportunities for meaningful connections, collaboration, and professional development within our community.
Strengthening our commitment to community by expanding our efforts to give back, supporting initiatives that reflect our values and positively impact the broader information security community.
Advancing inclusivity in our field by serving as the connector for individuals of all backgrounds and experience levels. We are dedicated to providing robust support and advocacy, ensuring that everyone—regardless of their background—has access to the resources, guidance, and opportunities they need to succeed.
Tailoring support to meet members where they are by delivering targeted tools and resources that empower you to achieve your professional goals.
These initiatives are just the beginning, and your insights and experiences will be vital in shaping our long-term strategic roadmap. To ensure our chapter aligns with the needs and aspirations of all members, we will be distributing a membership survey in the coming weeks. I encourage you to share your thoughts and ideas openly—together, we can achieve great things.
Thank you for your continued dedication to our chapter and the information security industry. I look forward to creating lasting impact by collaborating with each of you!
Warm regards,
Robert Kinzer
President, Central Ohio ISSA
